Dunno, it was they were on the telly at the time and I think it was some gimmick based on that. It was Nicki Campbell, forgot his name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to verify as he was frequently off his fucking tits. Sound lad though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So. It would be like every pension fund on earth - dependent on economics. You haven't changed a bit you deceitful, dishonest c**t.

John Lambies Doos Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 As I understand it, if we're talking about sterlingisaton with no currency union (SGC position) then Scotland taking on a debt share means issuing a huge number of bonds in a foreign currency without having a central bank that can guarantee them. The volumes are such that it needs institutional investors like pension funds to buy them but it has no control over inflation, so it runs risks of not being able to service the interest payments at one end, and representing a real terms loss on investment at the other end. Of course occupational pensions diversify to mitigate these events. An equivalent state pension to that of the UK would be paid for by a mix of bond issues and tax. Tough if you're trying to limit spending for a decade. You can't just edit a spreadsheet to fix this and like every policy choice it will have a human cost. Increasingly I think where indyref1 was fought in the hopes of seeing a Scandinavian model country for my generation to enjoy, indyref2 is going to be about the wellbeing of my kids generation onwards. I'm fine with this but I get its a tough sell to people who worry about their own wellbeing, or for my parents generation. If we want the fabled grown up conversation about independence honestly then we need to acknowledge this.Sorry bud but I have to disagree with what you have said - and I believe you are falling into the unionist trap.Firstly any pension you have in place at time of independence is locked (state), any defined benefits pension is locked (company) and any defined contribution pension fluctuates based on worldwide markets (zip to do with Scotland in grand scheme)You are talking about currency fluks not pensions. Scotland will be pegged to sterling.Whole pension thing is an Archie McPherson ruse, which belongs in the Express 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the problems with education in Scotland is, Jordanhill aside, the the lack of excellence. Even good schools - and we could have sent our weans to either Banchory or Cults - aren't that great. The best state schools in England pish all over the best state schools in Scotland. Plus schools who prioritise rugby are always so much better in every respect. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas you arent wrapped up on the outdated, moribund Union Flag. Cults is a well respected excellence of education and a school that has beennrewarded with a gold standard of respect of rights from UNICEF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
