Siol nan Gaidheal has watched with dismay the latest underhand actions from the Labour Party, and the lack of an appropriate response from the SNP. We have been subjected to the dubious reports from so-called Scots business people about their "concerns" and opposition to Scottish Independence. We in Siol nan Gaidheal strongly feel that these "concerns" are no more than scaremongering and have more to do with supporting Unionist policies than a true reflection on how businesses will perform in an independent Scotland. Siol nan Gaidheal now feels that it is time that the hundreds of thousands of Scottish Nationalists began to show their disapproval of these odious tactics, and the simple way of doing this is to Boycott these firms and individuals who would use their position in business to meddle in politics. We strongly advocate that true Scots DO NOT use any service provided by the following and if they have not already done so, please cancel all orders placed with these firms:

The individuals involved in this political underhandedness are as follows:

This list will be added to as more quislings come to light, it will also be our task to list alternative pro-Scottish Firms & Organisations who provide like services in order that your needs may still be met.

Siol nan Gaidheal believes that this is one of the most scurrilous of Labour's attempts to undermine the growing confidence of the Scottish people, these are the types who would rather we remained second-class citizens in this so-called Great Britain. We, however, firmly believe that they are more concerned about the loss of ENGLISH customers and their cash rather than any true concern about the future of Scotland and its business community. We urge our people to take up this cause in order that we show that we can "flex our muscles" as well as the Labour Party and its minions.

BOYCOTT THE LABOUR BUSINESS BULLIES. NO SCOTTISH CUSTOM FOR QUISLINGS !!

This list was placed on the site back in 1998 or thereabouts, and was based on information current at the time. We would like to express our gratitude to the Sunday Times of 15th April 2001, for reminding us that it was still here, by featuring its contents in an article by the pseudonymous Carlos Alba.

Another wee update, of 150 names, this time kindly supplied by the North British Person, in the form of an advert taken out by some 150 alleged business people who hate Scotland so much that they wish us to remain tied to Westminster, with all that this entails. April 2007 - here we go:
