“However, to focus on [the UK] just one out of 200 markets ignores Scotch whisky’s global success. Exports grew by £764m – a 32% rise – between 2005-09, with Scotch whisky now worth more to the UK than Cognac and Champagne exports combined are to France.”
Scotch is the leading single product export from Scotland, accounting for 15% of total Scottish exports (excluding oil and gas), 24% of Scottish manufacturing exports and 87% of Scottish food and drink exports. Scotch grew last year in 17 out of 20 of its top markets.
I don't remember Slainte saying anything about home drinking habits, nothing at all and what Scottish whiskey has to do with this thread is beyond me.
I must say though I was having a bit of a chuckle. I thought there will be Grant off on his searches to find something and look the poor soul has had to take two hours to find - nothing.
Far from this being a rebuff to Slainte, it simply is showing that migrants are still minding their motherland and buying Scotch.
When will you learn to read the articles you post?
However this thread is not about Scottish exports.
I'm sure he also does not see the irony inherent in tossing around the Nazi bomb to be used on those who are too strident AGAINST those who persecute Jews like they do, and how it is he and his fellow extreme leftists who continually refuse to acknowledge anything as antisemitic -- even as they are raving about the evil Jews always manipulating others, having control beyond their influence and all the other themes hammered home by the actual Nazis.
So you agree that various groups have been handing out their anti-somebody diatribes from the 60's to the present day, and that's something I've always been aware of also --
Slainte said "As discussed, emigration from the motherland is acceptable, as long as said migrants continue to support the motherland's economy through the purchase of over priced Scottish merchandise and tacky holidays", so i checked on it's most famous export..
From the article. “I have brought this to the attention of the Scottish Parliament, Scottish Enterprise and Scotland Food & Drink but no-one seems willing to engage with the question, despite the fact that over the past 30 years this underperformance has cost us around 50,000 jobs. As we face upcoming unemployment problems in Scotland this is an issue that can no longer be swept under the carpet.”
I'm quoting from that article!
I didn't mind Slainte bringing up the subject at all.

it's sometimes easy to mistake the two but I've not seen Grant post in "gish gallop" style before.
In the meantime, anyone seen any sign of a post with incriminating proof that I've ever posted anything to suggest anti-Semitic feeling or that "evil Jews" are "manipulating others" yet?
Why is that not a surprise? Why are blatant liars allowed to post such rubbish on this forum without consequence?
Considering the frequency with which some of you folks toss around the made-up term "islamophobe" with such zeal as you do, I would say all the melodramatic hand wringing over a few mentions of antisemitism should be taken with a grain of salt.
As far as posting rubbish on the internet with no consequence is concerned, I would think that if accusations of "Islmophobia" or calling people "racist", "nazi" and the like were taken with the sort of seriousness you suggest only for accusations of antisemitism, there would be far fewer posters here.
There is no point if what you quote has no relevance to what you are replying to. This is just your usual Gish Gallop.
Well let's not try and wrongly blame Slainte for this.
He merely responded to yet another of your hate Britain lines.
However it is against the rules of DC to change the thread's topic as you did in the post he responded to.
..and deliberately misinterpreted. With Infinite's love for his kids that's understandable and for the trampled feelings I apologise.
However, with kneejerk textbook vitriol and venom from other venting leftists in this board, it does only go to back up some kind of hypocrisy. For indeed there are people in their class who at least turn a blind eye to anti-Semitism (from their beloved guess-whos), or simply denying people Englishness, whilst pretending they're against all prejudice.
'RACIST' NOT TO BAN THE FLAG.....

No wonder there is such chaos being created
I remember this, which speaks for them all: Schoolgirl arrested for refusing to study with non-English pupils | Mail OnlineIt's called Multi Culturalism. This is what the melting pot has become has it?
That's right - a girl couldn't understand Urdu so was effectively punished by the State for it.
That's what happens when the mentality is taken to its necessary extremes - native culture and even language and race have to be compromised. And all because MultiCulti doesn't occur naturally and has to be imposed from the top-down.

Tell that to my city and visit Ellis Island in your life, would ya?
You cant help but degenerate threads into that quagmire you call mainstream. You have travelled so far of centre that you share a sphere with all manner of reactionary peripherals. Of course frequenting the periphery is not always to be frowned upon but, its the coordinates that guide you that need addressing.

I agree. Especially when earlier in this very topic we had Left-Liberals saying with straight faces that there's no such thing as Englishness and that the rest of us are indeed mongrels. Either every statement is discriminatory and hateful or none are.
Except for the fact that these people are not liberals.
They are just hypocritical lock-step leftists.
it's sometimes easy to mistake the two but I've not seen Grant post in "gish gallop" style before.
I see. So anything short of your extremist position is too mainstream, and since it is too mainstream, it must be reacionary.
got it.

You have a talent. Gardener, for getting right to the nub of the matter.
First time I've ever seen a bald faced liar complimented for "getting to the nub of a matter." :doh
