Indeed I suspect that she will.
Here's a thought: older, more mature whisky costs more than the more recent varieties, right?
So does this mean that what is sold now has a higher value because it's of a greater age since it wasn't selling before?

I like your thinking. It's all to do with how long the whisky has been kept in the casks. The longer it's kept in the cask, the more valuable it becomes (and, of course, the angels get more of a share* ). Once bottled, a single malt doesn't get any better (or worse) with age.

Yes exactly.

But it was the UK government with the USA who negotiated and achieved this, not the EU or Holyrood.

You might be recognizing the idea that perhaps the US and our new Prez might have a clue about getting back the basis of working together once again. For the good of all, and not just about the good of one orange fool who knew nothing about world affairs.

Yep, you might be on to something like common sense. Imagine that

British politics has reached a new low when this is offered as a description of the leader of a political party and First Minister.

Be honest, Bruce.
The recent antics of this woman have led a lot of people to regard her as Scotland's version of Donald Trump.

She's a compulsive liar and is a complete disaster for Scotland.

May I add to that by saying that the above applies equally within Scotland to those thinking so outside the country.


It is often forgotten that even according to polling and elections, approximately half of all Scots do not support or vote for the SNP.
That is despite decades of effective propaganda too.
Even before this latest damaging saga, the dire results of the SNP's governance over years draws widespread criticism within Scotland.

As a Scot (albeit one living temporarily in England) I along with many other countrymen know only too well how the SNP and Sturgeon in particular have promoted division rather than concentrate on improving the lot of Scotland and Scots.

The education review will be published soon, that will give good summary of the disaster the SNP have made of it.
