    Imagine the senescent screeching on here if one of the few remaining Yes supporters put forward a poll of a selected subset of respondents historically in favour of Yes?

    Something of similar psephological value would be the Scottish subset of 170 in yesterday's Comres poll (thanks for these figs from Scottish Skier, a valuable contributor on Scot Goes Pop, a site that's actually relevant to the indy debate).

    Modestly sized (170) subset from Comres

    How favourable or unfavourable are you towards each of the following?

    Independence for Scotland

    45% Favourable
    36% Unfavourable
    9% Neither
    11% DK

    That's from a group identifying as 55% voters for Unionist parties, 37% for SNP. A straw in the wind.

    You're a bit slow....I pointed that out on the last thread....

    In honour of the Stuart Dickson memorial prize for selective use of Scottish sub-samples:

    How favourable or unfavourable are you towards Scottish Independence (fav/unfav)
    Scotland: 45:36

    You're a bit slow if you think I trawl through every PB thread, and more particularly your contributions. I wouldn't go quite as far as calling you a fecking moron, mind.

    And who do the No voters trust on their pension:

    Darling: 39
    Osborne: 23
    Cameron: 18
    Brown: 16
    Sturgeon: 2
    Swinney: 1
    Salmond: 1

    It's worth remembering that Salmond, so far, is due an amazing six pensions.

    The majority of them will be paid in sterling, so he's got no worries.
    Poor Carlotta , too stupid to know that pensions must be paid out by the entity that took the cash , even Monica knows that basic fact.
    Poor Malcolm - those nice people at the Sunday Post have anticipated such ignorance:

    State pension payments are made from general taxation year in year out. There is no funding reserve build up over time to pay future pensions.

    I am sure you will love paying Scottish pensions when we are independent. Having contributed for a full UK state pension I will think of you wailing and gnashing your teeth as I collect my UK pension paid by rumpUK, in an independent Scotland.
    at 8% or whatever the agreed number is
    Charles , I agree with you, my previous response was just in kind to Carlotta who is unable to discuss matters in an adult fashion.
    You mean like this:

    Dear Dear , Toom Tabard is alive and well.

    And thanks for reminding us that Darling is trusted 39:1 over Salmond among No voting pensioners.
    Some friends of yours no doubt, they have similar opinions as you as well

    If you read the small print (always wise where the SNP are concerned) you'll note that it's not Better Together material - but from Charlie Ballie's Britannica Party - you ever heard of them? Me neither!

    Officially registered NO group, keep squirming, NO will stoop to any level, like yourself.

    The Rennard matters festers away inside and outside the Lib Dems. Another significant female resigns, a sister of a former MP and a member of its Federal body.
    Some specific details of what she alleges he did.
    http://www.libdemvoice.org/alison-goldworthy-quits-party-saying-its-no-place-for-women-who-want-to-deliver-change-42147.html

    What is amazing is the way that Rennard's supporters (mainly elderly) have no grasp of the scale of damage that this has inflicted on its younger female activists and PPCs. There is clearly a generational problem within the LDs on understanding what is proper and improper behaviour.

    I see it as more to do with the older generation giving more weight to proper process and justice. The party procedures have not found Rennard guilty of anything despite extensive efforts to do so. Some of the younger and/or female Lib Dems want disproportionate punishment for an unproved crime based solely on emotions rather than justice. This is a point of view but out of line with Liberal values which are very strong on fairness and justice.
    Had Rennard been investigated when he was an employee of the Lib Dems rather than a member then a different process would have applied. If party members (of any party) are to be expelled for encroaching on someone's personal space then there will be very few left.
    Either way Rennard would have done the party he claims to love a favour by resigning. As it is the Lib Dems have had to take another hit.
    The allegations happened WHEN he was an employee. Yet Clegg/Alexander/exPresident/etc chose to take no formal disciplinary action over the allegations. 1 male against one female. Repeated four times. What is missing from this is any sense about the "brand image of the LDs". Rennard's supporters seem to think that any damage to the party's image is worth this. They rate 1 older man more highly than 4+ female activists.

    Oddly, not one female LD (yes there are 7) has anything to say about the whole sorry episode. Nothing to say from the older female LD MPs about their younger sisters. They simply choose to ignore it and look the other way. I just cannot conceive of all the senior female MPs in Labour or the Conservatives doing the same. Why are female LD MPs acting so differently?
    I don't think that's true.
    For example I'm pretty sure I've seen Lynne Featherstone for example comment on it.
    No female has commented since Rennard was restored and more female LDs resigned.
    Featherstone said in Jan 2014 "Extremely disappointed Rennard has failed to apologise". He then did a form of apology a few months later. But nothing from Featherstone etc recently.

    Liberal Youth have banned him from any of their events.
    Thanks, does that still apply, or was it done after his membership was reinstated.

    Nick P,

    Any fule knoes the answer to the rugby question. Please go immediately to the naughty step and stay there for four hours.

    PS First match involving open rugby clubs took place in 1857 between Manchester and Liverpool

    Remind me - what IS rugby exactly? :-)
    It's a game where you play the ball, not the man (unlike soccer).

    Labour MPs typically prefer soccer

    You can't have watched many rugby games, Charles!!

    When you see the people you are associating with , would you not be concerned. May be better stopping now , worrying about dodgy pens does not compare with swamped by "new Scots" , whatever could that mean. Racists are far worse than people worrying about pens in my book.

    Since Malcolm is shy, would you like to hazard a guess as to why 96% of no voting pensioners are worried about their pensions in a separate Scotland, and trust Darling 39:1 vs Salmond, or do you think they are turnips too?

    How are you enjoying Berlin, EiT? it's the only major capital in Western Europe that I've never been to - I'd like to, sometime...

    Wait until the new airport is in place.

    And if you have to go via Tegel, avoid the Red Baron. It's truly nasty in a way that very few airport restaurants manage to achieve...
    Schönefeld seemed fine to me. Apparently it's going to be a while before the new airport's working so it's probably not worth waiting for it.

    ...and the Jock oldies are absolutely dead right to be worried about their pensions in an independent Scotland:

    Thye should be worried whether they will continue to get the worst pension in Europe under the UK and the fact that Westminster are raising the age you get it to ensure Scots contribute and get nothing back. They cause poverty and then hav eunfair pension rules to rob Scots afterwards.
    Malcolm, can you back up your claim that UK pensions are " the worst in Europe " ? Even by your standards it seems unreliable.
    No, he's correct:
