Imagine what Scotland will become when it's free from the English colonial state. Support Scotland's decolonisation started via United Nations mechanisms if you want Scotland to rise and be like Ireland.

@PolitlcsUK Comes from uisge-beatha in Gaelic, "water of life", or whisky (not whiskey that's Irish). Whisky belongs to Scotland but is stolen by the English colonial state like everything else from Scotland as an English colony. x.com/i/status/19363…

The Stolen Spirit: How the English Coloniser Hijacked Over £150 Billion from Scotland’s Whisky Industry in the Last Two Decades 1/ Scottish whisky is more than a drink. This national treasure represents distilled heritage, refined over centuries by the Scottish people through the climate, language, land, and lifeways of the Highlands and Islands. The name itself comes from the Scottish Gaelic term uisge-beatha, meaning "water of life." This spirit emerged from Gaelic-speaking communities such as Islay, Skye, and the Hebrides, where knowledge passed through generations shaped a practice intimately tied to the land. Scotch whisky is a unique, location-specific, high-volume, high-value export product. It stands as one of the most iconic symbols of Scotland on the global stage. Yet, this global success has long been exploited by an external colonial power. The English state has transformed a sovereign asset into a machine for extracting wealth, consolidating power, and advancing British branding while denying Scotland the authority to control or benefit from what it produces. This process has resulted in one of the most severe cases of wealth theft in contemporary Europe. The total value stolen from the Scottish whisky sector over the past twenty years stands between £100 billion and £180 billion. This extraction is not incidental. It reflects a colonial condition Scotland is now actively resisting. Decolonisation has begun. Scotland is engaging the United Nations to assert its right to self-determination and to end the colonial theft and exploitation imposed by its coloniser, England. The official figures expose the extent of this exploitation. In 2018, Scotch whisky exports totalled 1.28 billion 70cl bottles with a declared value of £4.7 billion, equating to only £3.67 per bottle. In 2023, 1.35 billion bottles were exported with a reported value of £5.6 billion, giving a per-bottle figure of £4.15. In 2024, export volumes rose to 1.4 billion bottles while the declared value fell to £5.4 billion, resulting in just £3.86 per bottle. These figures are drastically lower than market prices. The cheapest blended Scotch in duty-free shops typically costs no less than £10 per bottle. Most single malts and premium bottles are priced between £30 and £100, often more. A fair average export value of £10 per bottle would bring the 2024 figure to at least £14 billion. Over two decades, the gap between real and declared value points to a concealed loss of £120 billion to £180 billion. That loss reflects profit transferred out of Scotland through false pricing, offshore registration, and colonial misrepresentation. Ownership of the industry has largely shifted out of Scottish hands. Major producers such as Diageo and Pernod Ricard are headquartered outside Scotland. Diageo controls over 30 percent of the market and operates from London. These multinational corporations use accounting structures that allow profits to be declared in low-tax jurisdictions or within English financial centres. The whisky may be crafted in Scotland, but the wealth is booked elsewhere. What remains in Scotland is an image without authority, production without sovereignty, labour without reward. The theft continues through taxation. In 2022 to 2023, excise duty and VAT on whisky generated £3.8 billion, all absorbed by the UK Treasury. Even whisky sold in Scotland is taxed by the British state. The revenue is not returned to support Scottish public services or invested in the communities that carry the industry. Scotland has no fiscal control over its most valuable national product. What ought to support rural infrastructure, universal services, and a Scottish sovereign wealth fund is used instead to fund the apparatus of English power. @UN @UN_HRC @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN @eu_eeas @coe @EURightsAgency @francediplo @FranceintheUK @franceintheus @cgfEdimbourg @Elysee @GermanyDiplo @bundeskanzler @NorwayMFA @dfatirl @PresidentIRL @antonioguterres
