Dear @LornaSlater, the proposed DRS has many flaws, it will be: worse for the environment, limit consumer choice, increase costs & jeopardise Scottish jobs. We urge you to pause and revise the scheme with input from the 'real industry'. Let's ensure this DRS works for everyone."
Again limiting who can reply to this ridiculous tweet to sensor opinion.
Do you think the person that dropped the 'Scheme Article' (which looks like Dragon Soup) is over 18? Do you think an under 18 will take back an alcoholic beverage container? Are they even allowed?
This is why we need a #DepositReturnScheme in Scotland, to protect our parks and green spaces from this kind of litter 🚮 Less than 150 days to go! ♻️

I’m supposed to sign away @ShipyardGin to the doomed #DRS by today. Despite not being voted in or even having great support amongst greens @lornaslater is still telling everyone to sign up by today even when all 3 prospective FM’s say it should be paused. #depositreturnscheme

Jesus wept. So @lornaslater knows her Deposit Return Scheme needs a UKIMA exemption; doesn’t have one; hasn’t even applied for one; yet demands businesses sign up to the scheme *by tomorrow*? This is clown car stuff.

Is this the future of alcohol advertising?
The Scottish Government are having a consultation on banning alcohol advertising and promotion. This will mean the death of a flourishing craft drinks industry in Scotland. Shipyard Gin and many others would be no more.

13th Feb: @lornaslater says that they have been working with UK Govt to get UKIMA exemption.
22nd Feb: @ScotSecofState says no request has been been made.
So which one is it?
So who is lying @lornaslater? I thought the UKIM had received your application for exemption? Are you simply waiting on UK Gov to step in and take the blame for shelving the scheme when in fact it’s been your shambles from the start? #DRS #depositreturnscheme
