Noted hip hop artist and twat Sean Combs

While Diageo is still set to close it’s bottling plant in Kilmarnock, rip the heart out of the community, condemn hundreds of families to unemployment it’s comforting to know it’s not all doom and gloom for the employees of Diageo’s multi billion food and drinks empire.

Sean Combs, Aka Puff Daddy, aka P.Diddy is set to make a cool $100 million in an advertising deal with Diageo

“Diddy has agreed to take on responsibility for Diageo’s Ciroc vodka brand in the United States, as part of a 50-50 joint venture with the London-based multinational that could net the hip-hop entrepreneur over $100 million. Ciroc is made from grapes in France, which is unusual given that vodka sources are traditionally starch-based such as potatoes or corn.”

Lets not forget that the bottling plant in Kilmarnock is not inefficient or unproductive. It has created massive wealth for Diageo. The reason the plant is threatened with closure is to protect “future profit levels” for Diageo.

Profit levels that have been consistent at £2 Billion a year for them in the past decade.

20,000 march to defend jobs from Diageo’s greed

If Diageo can afford to lavish $100 million on P.Diddy they can afford to maintain an already profitable plant in Kilmarnock – if they refuse to stop the closure, the plant should be taken over with the jobs and profits secured for the local community – not Diageo or massive celebrity advertising!
