"Among those recently approached by FCO officials were Macsween of Edinburgh, the world-famous haggis firm, which was asked to donate about 2,500 vegetarian products worth more than £5,000. James Macsween, operations director of the company, accused the FCO of “greed”.
“We told them ‘no’ because there’s a moral issue involved,” he said. “Why are all these companies being asked to give goodie bags to all these people, free of charge, when the mass public are calling on them to cancel world debt? It’s saying the wrong thing. It’s greed and, I’m afraid, it’s disgusting.”"
I commend the company's attitude (as well as their haggises, which are really excellent). And it serves the FCO right for asking for vegetarian products.
