I was extremely impressed (like many) with Alex Salmond's delivery on Friday. However, already it seems from Nicola's opening statement that he cherry-picked sections, laws & guidelines to suit his agenda, whereas Nicola considered the entire picture to make a correct judgement.

The question isn't 'Will I get a pension if I live in an independent Scotland?", but "Will I get a pension if I live in the UK?" By 2030 you'll probably have to work until 75 to be entitled to one, and even then it'll be absolute pittance. #ScottishIndependence #indyref2 ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
