*I want to be able to whizz down to Manchester to fly offf on holiday, or pop to the Lake District, or on the train to London for the weekend, without a border at Gretna.
I want to know the currency I’m to be paid in. How will insurance and pensions work? If I fall ill in England will I have to pay for treatment? Will flights be extortionate as there will be a tiny captive market?*
Wouldnt it be better to be able to go on holiday from your local airport? It’s so bizarre to think it’s normal to have to travel to another country to get a flight overseas.
No one in favour of Scottish independence will put forward a plan where Scots would have to show a passport to go on holiday in England or Wales or NI.
What Westminster decides to do is something we have no influence on now or after independence.
The pound is as much Scotland’s currency as rUK’s. But most independence supporters are in support of us being paid in our own currency, backed by our own national bank, like most other nation states.
There is no reason for insurance or pensions to be adversely affected by independence. We have always had an independent legal system and laws.
Pensions could be abolished by Westminster whenever they like. Do you trust them to keep the state pension at all? It is much more likely that any Scottish Government would have more generous pension policies, for example a lower pension age than any future Westminster one.
Westminster could stop Scots accessing the English NHS tomorrow. We don’t pay into it. The union doesn’t protect this right.
There is no reason why flights would be more expensive. A Scottish government is more likely than Westminster to reduce taxes to encourage more flights in and out of Scotland.
There are so many scare stories put out by the unionist MSM but none are as scary of what Westminster will do to us if we stay in the union.
