this is huge - who would vote for independence knowing it would result in all of your cash at bank being forcibly converted into a new Scottish currency and strict capital controls being enforced which would prevent you from moving money out of the country?

Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland:
800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy.
Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year.
One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job.
The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid.
Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.

You moan when there is no investment….now you moan when there is.
I think it is quite clear that you lot just moan about anything and everything to the extent that you have zero clue about what you want, just as long as its ‘Scoatishy’ and in no way linked to Westminster.

The ignorance of this ‘blind’ strategy is truly dumbfounding. Playing Russian roulette with the money, savings, pensions and mortgages of hard working people! Simply an appalling, selfish answer to a sensible question!

Photos of the delegates at the SNP conference yesterday were proof of the lie that Scottish independence is a young peoples movement. The audience was mainly white haired or hairless and barely able to keep awake.

'THE SNP are set to survey nearly 1.5 million Scots' - The National headline the day before their annual conference. As you watch this evolve, remember the last time they tried this trick.

Nobody who can count thought the triple lock would survive to 2050. The difference between a more gentle gradient of increases and a counterfactual (that was never going to happen) is not money pensioners will in any meaningful sense “lose”. John Swinney is nothing but a conman.

As Salmond discovered in 2014, you can only blag it on the matter of currency in an indy Scotland for so long.
A separate Scotland would be free to use whatever currency it wanted, including sterling. But it could not print sterling — indeed the Scottish banks would have to stop printing Scottish pound notes — and the Bank of England would not be lender of last resort. It has no need to be that to any foreign jurisdiction just because that jurisdiction uses sterling.
So a separate Scotland using sterling would have no ability to create money and no central bank lender of last resort. But by far the biggest deficit in Europe to finance. Borrowing rates would be penal. It’s a Darien-style financial crash in the making which will pauperise the nation. And the real threat to Scotland’s pensions/pensioners.

Stephen Flynn last night doubled down on his denial of being briefed about a gas leak on a scandal-hit ferry — despite emails showing that he was.
The Transport Secretary has now been accused of a “sleekit, skin-saving cover-up”.

Only narrow minded bigots vote SNP.
If there ever was another indy ref. It would be the mother of all spins to get it over the line.
No one with a mortgage or a pension can seriously vote for there own poverty.

'This bombshell new evidence suggests that Stephen Flynn conspired with officials to execute a sleekit, skin-saving cover-up'
Emails show Stephen Flynn was briefed on CalMac's highly flammable gas leak – despite telling a Holyrood committee he had had no knowledge of the incident.
The Transport Secretary faces calls to refer himself to the independent advisers on the ministerial code.
Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay said: “These emails appear to confirm that John Swinney’s transport secretary was briefed about this critical incident on a CalMac ferry.
“Stephen Flynn should have admitted that he had simply failed to do his job properly.
“But instead, this bombshell new evidence suggests that he conspired with officials to execute a sleekit, skin-saving cover-up.
“Flynn is increasingly beginning to resemble a mini-Swinney as they share the same brazen propensity to hoodwink the paying public.
“Swinney still refuses to correct the record despite falsely telling parliament that Scots would lose their pensions.
“And now his apparent successor is engaging in similar grubby dishonesty." 👇

Scot Gov has just published several FOI responses seeking the briefing pack provided to Stephen Flynn before his disastrous Transport Committee session last month. His briefing did cover the ferry gas leak story, proving that Stephen Flynn had not read his briefing pack. Oops.
