It would be up to the Scottish Government to honour your contributions. The burden would fall on the Scottish taxpayer. The money you theoretically paid into the system has long been spent. At long last, someone who gets it. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The fact that DPB is backing up Tibbs' total jibberish tells us all we need to know. At what point do trolls realise that they're simply being laughed at? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The argument that you won't get your UK state pension because you live in an independent Scotland is a hilarious fail. Again.......it would require specific legislation from Westminster enabling a UK retiree to draw their UK pension if they reside in any other country in the world.....apart from Scotland Good luck sorting that out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get your pension. All we’re saying is that the SG pays for it. Please read what is written. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clearly an area requiring answers and not one which requires several pages of arrogant responses from Yes supporters who frankly can't possibly have a clue about how all this would work in reality given that even Sturgeon doesn't. Arrogant Yes voters claiming to have the answers to every potential issue won't win over a single No voter to the cause. A lot of this is going to be a shot in the dark if we go for independence. Pretending otherwise is just daft. FFS has Brexit taught us nothing about what levels of shit can hit the fan when two hostile parties divorce? Considering the UK govt don't have a ring fenced pot and utterly fucked the WASPI women I don't think there is much more uncertainty. Committing to set up a ring fenced pot would be my preference but I'm not sure the practicalities however to those doing the leg work there must be plenty examples out there which are better than the UK one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 To deflect from the current Tory trainwreck, the UKNats’/Tory apologists’ current line seems to be to go hard on “but the ferries! Bloody SNP AND GREEN!” Expect to see a lot of this. After all, we should be far more concerned about the ferries than about the strong and stable UK economy being set ablaze (which is absolutely fine and was planned, as going down in flames is good, dammit.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
