It seems that Edinburgh Woollen Mill are selling cashmere garments made in Mongolia by North Korean workers. Very much along the lines of our friends, the Gold Brothers, they carry labels saying "Designed in Scotland" and the wages of the people making them seemingly go direct to the North Korean government. How many nuclear missiles does that finance I wonder?
So you see there is a little more to the corruption of the "Designed in Scotland" label than merely commercial protectionanism. All the unsuspecting tourists who bought the cheapo kilts and cashmere sweaters could well have been subsidising North Korea's nuclear programme if this article is true - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme...ht/9612939.stm
