My pension is "British"

I have read and am confident it will remain as it is. As Nicola Sturgeon said about pensions. We have contributed to tax and will continue to contribute the same so pensions will be unaffected.

Good to see you back

Might even get to meet at 5's

Murney, thats all well and good, but it doesnt answer the question. How do we clear the deficit of the pension schemes on day 1?

As you know im pretty single minded, so wasnt gonna follow the Rangers vote No, Cletic vote Yes angle, but make up my own mind based on the facts.

What is the factual solution to this issue?

Ooft, be a while yet before ill be back at 5's after my op.

Last time I played you guys I was blowing out my ass after 10 minutes in goal! I even look at a pitch just now and ill be blowing out the fecking mouth that the surgeon carved into my side as some kind of sick joke!

UK government have confirmed that pensions are guaranteed and will be paid exactly the same whether there is a union or not (a statement which was woefully under-reported)

The only potential issue would be the equivalent strength of the pound"

==================================

So they are going to fill this £11bn black hole themselves are they?

Remember, this is just one scheme, how many others are in deficit?

As somebody that works for a Technical Team in the Pensions Industry I can confirm that none of us have a clue

The interesting thing is who will Scottish based Pension Schemes be regulated by and if they aren't regulated by the UK will they need to become QROPS and will there be double taxation agreements etc?

I can see you guys having massively squeezed pension arrangements and limits to earn tax money.

There was a small report tucked away on BBC a year ago

http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-24286056

The only caveat is that they cannot guarantee that future pensions will be the same as that will obviously be up to Scotland to decide.

But accrued pensions do not change in any way. This will not be paid like a cross border pension, it will be paid as normal."

==============================

I dont mean this to come across quite as snobby as it is going to sound, but im not talking about the peasant pension (yea, could have worded it better).

This little statement you have shown relates purely to the State pension, not the private pension funds that have been paid into by a large proportion of the working population.

Welcome back, Mitre

Now, can you just run that Leeds United situation by me again?

Lots of open ended questions and no real confirmed answers from either side.

The fallout for the next week or so should make the news interesting to watch for a change

No got word on this PC Mick, can you copy and paste?

Very childish I know.

Mitre I have few things to say in response about your post.
The link to TES and the possible future of a final salary scheme has nothing to do with this issue you raise and everything to do with the charlatans who ran your relative's particular scheme that made such a colossal deficit.

The Scottish Gove is unable to approach the EU direct on the cross border schemes you refer to and their preferred strategy is that in the case of a country becoming independent then the recovery plan agreed originally should be allowed to proceed. The Scottish Govt has asked the UK govt to represent its interests in this matter but the UK govt has not done so.
This will now be dealt with as a matter of urgency by the Scottish Govt once the Yes vote is secured.

Silver, I don't care who tries the most, I could care less what politician apologieses for fecking it all up. I want answers to the glaringly obvious issues that we still face and could cause real problems to our countrymen (feck that, I mean my da so that I don't have to pay to look after him when his pension falls through! Lol).

Tully, that sounds very much like a leap of faith. So if the EU says no, the scheme is fecked? Hell of a gamble to take is it not?

The whole Yes campaign is built on the back of a gamble, one far too serious to invest your vote on

Got to pop out guys, but will be on later.

Mick, downloading some software to read your articles, thanks for the heads up.

Still sounds terrifying to be honest though!
