I may not be able to spend it all but Mrs T is quite good at it

Not necessarily liking it and I do not get paid extra for it but I just wanted to point out that though its not a physical occupation it is still long hours and mentally draining, another 8 weeks and I am retiring but looking at the stock markets not sure its the right time now but hey ho, at least I have a pension of sorts unlike some who do not and expect everyone else to look after them in their old age

Not everybody can get a private pension or afford to join one. I lost my right to the promise of a private pension through divorcing a violent, selfish b*****d, its not ideal but I manage on the state pension that I have paid contributions to. Nobody is going to 'look after me' in my old age.

Everybody who works has to be enrolled in a workplace pension by law and the company have to contribute as does the employee so yes everyone can get one? My pension is not great and even less since the current situation but it will help till the state pension kicks in.

But too little too late for people of my age.

Fantastic pics Tam Northernraider

You've seemed a little wound up for a couple of days so I thought you might like a photo of some brave dogs in Ukraine suffering constant shelling from dead eyes putin.
Thankfully some even braver volunteers are staying behind to look after all the cats and dogs whose owners were not able to evacuate them.
Pray for the doggies and the cats, in fact all who are having to endure this

In this fair and equal society would we still have the Barnet formula ?

Have you ever for a second asked yourself why if Scotland really was the burden Westminster claims it is why they've been so desperate to hold on to it?

If you haven't then thats how you will find the answer to your question.

In 2014 Westminster had a panic attack the second a poll showed a majority for yes.


The same old bull is regurgitated regularly. ...the same question stands .

If Scotland is a drain on Westminster then let us go . Its quite simple.

Taking your share of the national debt of course

How do you think Scotland would fare as an independant country ?

Not our concern. If they want to go then let them I don't think they will be protected by our anti Nuclear subs anymore though. Just off to get me tin hat again.

'ooh they're our nuclear subs and if you leave, you're not getting to play with them'

Scotland has never had borrowing powers

Not our concern. If they want to go then let them I don't think they will be protected by our anti Nuclear subs anymore though. Just off to get me tin hat again.

And one of the key points for independence in 2014 was getting rid of the nuclear subs out of Scotland.

Store them elsewhere .including the 4 that are rotting away in a basin not 4 miles from where i live

 

[Northernraider]

'ooh they're our nuclear subs and if you leave, you're not getting to play with them'

Aye it's always the same pish eh ...

I agree, get rid. Leave United Kingdom and tell us to move them

Do your part then write to your mp and tell him you support a vote for scottish independence.

I've always been in favour of Scottish independence so we're on the same side

Hmm well its obvious the 2 way ignore doesn't work then e

I think that's a fair point. I have no view on Scottish independence. However I observe that is not a wave of consensus. Scotland is deeply split on the issue. I have many Scottish friends. Most are pro the union.

I dont think it's fair to say that the UK wont let Scotland free. There have been democratic independence referendums and Scotland has voted to stay.

Perhaps that view has swung though and I cant see why Boris cant grant Scotland one more vote.

Could it be that England has already got enough problems with Economic Migrants and the Scottish border would be harder to patrol than the English Channel?

But it would be Scotland's problem keeping you out so not an issue for Westminster

It was a very close call in 2014 ... swung mainly by the statement " an independent Scotland would lose its EU membership" they kept quiet about the impending in/out vote on EU the Tories had planned.

Things have changed considerably since then .

As ive said before the very fact Scotland has to ask permission from Westminster to hold a vote for its own people is a red flag alone that this is not a union of equals. Its an outdated stupid union created centuries ago by idiots. And relationships would be a lot better if it were dissolved.

As an added bonus we could throw in all the biggotted rangers supporters as a sweetener. As those make up the majority of the pro union supporters in scotland.

I always thought it was because all the countries are equal and England and Wales are quite happy to put up with the moaning Scots, but now they are wasteing money duplicating parliaments and other stuff they might as well have a go at paying their own way.
Let them go.

Have to me, IV never had anything against any Scots as I know to.

But the Scots seem to have something against the English all the time just for being English even if it is going to cost them.

 

[phillipsheila]

I wish wales would get out too so we dont have to beg westminster for our money

Then you should run for prime minister charlie

Nope thats just how you interpret a scottish hate of Westminster . Especially the Tories we have been their guinea pigs for too long.



P.s if i had something against the english charlie i wouldn't be on here , i wouldn't be keeping you all entertained as lets face it the majority of people on this thread are english.

I've never had a problem with english people. Most of them are sick of the crap service from westminster too.

I just feel my country should be in control of every part of it ...not just what westminster thinks is appropriate.

Ive said this before too but the irony is that most people in England who think scotland is a burden or couldn't survive on its own are the same folk that voted for brexit . Its a tad hypocritical to be honest.
