Scotland - UK Supermarkets Agree To Bolster Anti-English Scots' Bigots

The Scotsman:

ENVIRONMENT Secretary Richard Lochhead today revealed eight major supermarkets have signed an agreement with the Scottish Government to help promote Scottish produce in their stores.

And he released figures showing a 21 per cent increase in demand for Scottish food products over the past two years, despite the economic downturn.

Mr Lochhead unveiled the new retailers' charter – signed by Aldi, Asda, the Co-op, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose – as he published the Scottish Government's next steps in the first-ever national food and drink strategy.

Well, that's all fine and dandy. Great for English-hating Scots' bigots who can't bear to buy English, as well as people who simply see Scotland as a country alone, with no loyalty due elsewhere. Which it is not.

And I noticed recently that Sainsbury's and Tesco have changed the packaging on their sausages in England so that you can now buy such delights as "BRITISH Pork Licolnshire sausages".

And I've also heard that Tesco is intent on cleansing Englishness out of existence by renaming the (very) few English lines they have as "British" (more here).

There are indications that the major supermarkets have refused to brand English products as English to appease anti-English Scots' bigots. Read the CEP's findings here.

When it comes to our anti-English, Scots-biased supermarkets, we personally vote with our wallets and purses.

How about you?

A big kiss to the Witanagemot Club.
