Ah wisnae bein' political, jist pointin' oot the possibly negative commercial aspect of the design change --

hiv ye seen whit an M&S 'customer relations' person (apparently no longer associated wi' them) telt an elder wumman wha wrote tae them complainin' aboot thir Scotch bein' call't 'British' and I believe hivvin' a butcher's apron sorry union flag oan the boatle?
He/she telt the wumman that the Scots had hid thir referendum and needed to accept that Scotland wis noo 'part of England'!!!!! ???? and so 'whiskey' (!!! Aye, that's hoo she spelt it!!)wis noo under the union (or possibly even the st george's ) flag.
collective dropping of jaws across the Scottish nation -- and an immediate boycott of M&S - tho they have now issued an apology.

(who is old enough to remember the boycott we did of South African goods during the apartheid era? there were also many performers who refused to go there - or if they did they insisted on unsegregated audiences. there were songs too -- I remember Gordeanna singing 'I support the boycott, here's the reason why, I can taste apartheid in an outspan orange pie'. Can't remember it all - nor who composed it?
anyone enlighten me?)

Surely one of the reasons for folk music is to protest? anti nuclear songs, political songs, songs about injustice - and not just in modern times?
