Hi,
Not wishing to stasrt an argument about whether Scottish indepenence would be a good thing for us/them/both, or not, but thinking about the nitty gritty details.
An article in the Saturday Telegraph raised the question of frozen pensions for ex-pats ... emigrants to Oz, for instance, do not recieve regular increments to their pensions. It all depends if there is an agreement between the UK and Oz governments. Will English ex-pats living in Stotland, and Scotish ex-pats living in England get increments?
Similarly, there have been suggestions that UK ex-pats should not get the Winter fuel allowance. If that comes to pass, would English ex-pats living in Scotland get their £200 per year, and vice-versa?
Scotland is demanding to keep the £. So, what happens if they do keep it, and England promptly changes to the Euro? Come to that, it's the UK that is in the EU, not Scotland, and not Wales, and not England.
It looks like the politicians are going to have to do some work.
