SALMOND JUST LOVES STERLING. COULD THIS BE THE REASON WHY?.

As workers all over the UK take industrial action over pensions we learn that Scotland’s First Minister alex salmond’s pension pot is worth more than 15 times that of an average public sector employee. Prime Ministers and Scotland’s first minister receive a special pension award and in salmond’s case it is estimated that he will trouser £700,000 as a result of this special award, worth every penny I hear you say, right?.

Wee eck is never slow to criticise his great rivals like David Cameron and Gordon Brown, how ironic is it then that both these Prime Ministers voluntarily gave up this special award while salmond hangs on to his like “a scrapyard dog” fighting over a bone.

It wouldn’t be (Del boy) salmond without the small print though would it. His reply to his critics is that the pension rules do not allow him to refuse to accept the money, you can almost feel his pain at having to keep the £700,000 can’t you?. He is now facing the full glare of the public’s mistrust, the ducking and diving, the lies, the sneering arrogance it has all built to a crescendo. The partying at the public’s expense at the Olympics, The Open Golf, the still missing £50,000+ from his last junket, it all adds up and the people are seeing him for the Shyster that he is, he even took his personal piano player and his two private chefs to America with him, enough surely?.


I have a solution which will ease his anguish at having to take the special pension, while the rules prevent him from accepting it there are no rules which prevent him from giving the money back once he has got it, not the kind of thing he would ever think of perhaps but surely someone could suggest it to him? A close colleague perhaps or a political adviser, someone with courage.

Didn't Labour's Jack McConnell do the same thing?

Didn't Labour's Jack McConnell do the exact same thing. Even worse he claimed the pension whilst he was still an MSP.

I don't recall your furious disgust and outrage then councillor. But then,when it one of your own I suppose hypocrisy is ok.

Did Tony Megabucks Blair pay his back Terry?

Despite having amassed a personal fortune of over 30 Million Pounds,
Tony Blair has drawn a special pension of 70 Thousand pounds every year since leaving office in 2007 which so far has cost the taxpayer 490 Thousand pounds and he will continue to draw this for the rest of his life.

Can't see any reports of him paying the money back.

Can't see any post from Terry Kelly condemning him for it.

If anybody could have forfeited their pension and still have lived the rest of their life in luxury then it is Labour's Tony Blair But then he really does love the Sterling!!

So let's see then, according to you Tony Blair and alex salmond are cut from the same cloth, a right pair of greedy crooks, I must remember that.

Of course he didn't he would no more pay his pension back than the wee spiv salmond would pay for his tartan breeks if he hadn't been caught.

He did indeed but I'm not sure why claiming it at a different time makes it worse, desperation I suppose but the whole point of this is you see that when you criticise McConnell or Blair your bahooky is out the windae, now that's funny.

Do councillors no get a pension?

Cllr Terry Kelly said...

There is a pension scheme but I don't bother with it, I'm already rich.

Running Man said...

You'll be rich when the Yes vote comes in if you laid that bet I told you to do....

My bookie friend tells me that no amount of coaxing can get the separatists to put their money down, and the No odds are 1 to 10 on.

Running Man said...

If you can get me a real 10-1 on a YES vote I'll put a grand up....I'm serious

Running Man said...

Betfair odds say your bookie is a fantasy.......

Its 4-1 on for No and 4-1 against for Yes...

Bets as high as 10-1 for Yes have been taken previously....

Odds are shortening rapidly..

Cllr Terry Kelly said...

Worst price for NO at the moment is 1/6 on and yes worst price is 4.5/1 against. The only description for that is NO is a "Cert".

Cllr Terry Kelly said...

You want to put a £1,000 on a yes vote at 10/1 which can't be found. Very brave. No one is going to win much by betting on yes even if they did win at 10/1 because none of you have the courage to do it, small bets are being made so blusterers like you can boast that they have backed yes, a farce.

Running Man said...

I've no bet on the referendum. You are the one banging on about odds.

When YES win folk like yourself will evaporate from the internet like snaw aff a dyke.

You'll all be secret YES men then.

Running Man said...

Your bookie friend says 10-1 on for NO vote yet you say best odds anywhere are 6-1......

Which is it ?

Cllr Terry Kelly said...

Go and read it again bozo.

I won't be a secret anything win or lose it's cowards like you who stay hidden.
