DRINKS group Diageo is to shed around 500 Scottish jobs as part of an overhaul which will see the closure of an historic distillery.
Diageo is shutting the Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow, which has been producing whisky since 1810, and is also closing a packaging plant at Kilmarnock in Ayrshire and outsourcing some of its warehousing operations.
Diageo – the group behind brands including Guinness, Smirnoff vodka and Johnnie Walker whisky – is also restructuring its brewing operation in Ireland to cut costs, but is yet to reveal the impact on jobs or its three Irish breweries.

Of course.
I don't want the Tories trying to unravel the mess.
Hopefully Gordon will triple public spending and we'll all tap into the gravy train, invest in the volatile markets and then piss-off to sunny (tax-free) climes before the IMF are called in.

Wanted - Daily Doom™
Please post "UK - Next failed state" and "Economy about to tank" type articles.
There's too much cheeriness about at the moment. House prices leaping upwards, recession ending, banks making profits etc.
I blame Gordon.
