Even a casual observer of Scotch Whisky can't fail to notice UK Government Duty of: Three Quarters.

Eh?

If it was another Product, the Government would be accused of unrealistic, manipulative, scamming.

It's been like this, for 202 YEARS.

Wake up Scots, Scottish Independence is now ESSENTIAL!

Don't take much notice of Rachel from Accounts thoughts or opinions but it is time to start playing hardball with WM.

Stop asking for permission - it looks like we require it.

Start telling them we will be leaving so start planning to negotiate division of assets AND we are not taking any debts!

Not only that it’s too stupid to realise that the “brain drain” is the direct result of idiotic policies driven by pandering to the #ClactonCuckoo whom they support! Duh.
The Mail does not even know what socialism means.
This is how the Mail has covered a 70% fall in net migration.

The Government should stop kidding itself it will ever get credit for being anti-migration. They could cut numbers to zero and there would still be front pages blasting them for making the UK a socialist wasteland no one wants to come to

We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for the mess created by all the political criminals that #Westminster seem to attract.

The question is, where did the £700,000 come from?
Reform has spent £700K on double-page ads in the Telegraph, Times, Sun, Mail, Express & Metro!

Blatant crooks Mandelson, Mone, Bamford, Gove. Many others. Already enough in public domain to charge them with potential crimes. Where the fuck is the NCA?
Its a small kingdom, not hard to fuck up but only if you fill the management with greedy self serving crooks.
The United Kingdom is falling apart because there has been a failure of Westminister to prioritise and take care equally of the entire kingdom.

The UK government’s budget is simply managing decline.

The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth.

Can't grow economy by hiking taxes on low/middle income families.

Whatever happened to taxing the rich?
