Because today George Osborne is screwing every Scottish Person and has a smug look on his face whilst doing it
Not only has he increased retirement age to an age that many will never see or benefit from retirement, but will die before the age of 67
and today;
Scotland will face a £176.8m cut in public spending this year as a result of a savings plan announced by the UK Chancellor.
George Osborne said departmental budgets would fall by £3bn in 2015/16.
However, Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney said that the cut was an "unexpected and unwarranted" imposition of further austerity.
Mr Osborne made the announcement ahead of his emergency budget which will take place on 8 July.

"I can't see how you come to the conclusion it's revenge for not voting tory. Are you suggesting there won't be any cuts in England?"
There are cuts in England, I know that and you should already know that
But Westminster controls England so fair play
Westminster also takes all of Scotland's income and gives only pocket money back
regardless of what Scotland vote, they will always suffer at the hands of Osborne, Yourself included. |

So if the cuts in Scotland are revenge for not voting tory then what are the cuts in England for (where they did vote tory)?
Also, if Westminster takes all of our income and only gives us pocket money back then how much do they take and how much are we getting back? |

I don't know the figures, I haven't looked for them but I think we're getting a good bit more than we bring in given all we've heard recently about the huge additional deficit we'd have if we had full fiscal autonomy. |

Cuts will be felt UK wide so not only Scotland so little off balance with moan.
Is true Scotland is bled of finance and returned with pocket money as you state. Our proportional allocation of funding is poor in relation to our proportional income to the government.
However, in a nutshell, Scotland has it's vote and for better or worse it was a NO so UK we are until next time. |

"Got to laugh at this type of post when people make statements and can't back up their argument ...... And what the FCK has serps got to do with it ...."

State Enrolled Pension Scheme - but no I really don;t understand the relevance.
Cuts are going to hit the whole UK but hey it could be worse - we could live in Greece (although at least it doesn't fckn rain every day there). |

What the fuck has SERP's not got to do with it; if you read the start of the post regarding the new retirement age!!!
You should also realise that George Osborne has also sneaked in other snug alterations to your state pension
have you had an estimate of the State Pension you’ll get when you reach State Pension age; I bet you haven't!!!
If you have and you contracted out of serps in the 80's like many did, then later contracted back in, you may find you are in for a big shock; oh didn't you realise that
I think I will be the one sitting back Laughing; I have my estate and affairs all set; you need to look to the future as the years ahead soon creap up
some estimate you will need a 1/2 million private final salary pension just to scrape by, but if you are banking on your state pension think again as Mr Osborne has sneaked in some nasty surprises
SO; what the FCK has serps got to do with it .... wait till you are 67 and find out; or if you have a head on your shoulders perhaps you should find out right now
who is the donkey; eh aww |

on a serious note; get an estimate of the State Pension you’ll get when you reach State Pension age; do it now, long before you retire, you may find a few things you did not expect
if you do it early enough you may have time to increase your AVC's and give yourself a pension you can live on.
Be aware Westminster is also about to change the amount you can put into AVC's, they already cut it to £40,000 and they are about to adjust it again
everyone needs to be aware of what the future holds for them financially on retirement |

I still dont know how this is screwing Scotland !!!! everyone in the uk is effected by the cuts and the increased retirement age.
I know exactly how much I will receive in state pension when I retire.
I provided myself with a pension as many years ago I did nor believe the pension would even exist. |

Westminster also controls Scotland. And Wales and Northern Ireland. |

All these cuts, affecting the most vulnerable in our society and they propose to build a Thatcher museum at a £15million cost to the taxpayers. Something stinks in The City of London. The sooner we get away the sooner we can spend our resources on improving infrastructure in Scotland. Saor Alba.  |

As much as no one wants the cuts they are coming mostly from efficiency savings this time round and not from the most vunrable.
£ 500 million from defence, transport etc |

Just seen today that the Scottish government had an underspend of almost half a billion pounds last year. Surely they should be spending this on public services? It's more than double the amount of the cuts they are complaining about. |

Enjoy your Sunday |

Exactly, but of course the OP conveniently forgets that little matter. |

It would seem that you're rather confused all round.
4 weeks ago you said, "I think I will be the one sitting back laughing; I have my estate and affairs all set; you need to look to the future as the years ahead soon creep up".
And by the way, in quoting you, I've corrected your spelling mistakes!  |
