Comment:Scottish independence and pensions outlook
Pensions are rapidly looking like being the key vote-determining issue of the independence referendum. And for the SNP right now, it looks like being a real killer. Unless Alex Salmond can come up with some really convincing evidence and arguments to show that pensions will be not just safe, but also better, in an independent Scotland, then he will lose the referendum.

By a Newsnet reporter
The head of the Scottish branch of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has accused BBC Scotland head Ken MacQuarrie of carrying out a "major dumbing down" of news coverage in Scotland and of targeting journalists.
Addressing hundreds of protestors in Glasgow at the weekend, Paul Holleran claimed that highly experienced and qualified staff had been targeted by BBC Scotland management who he said had agreed to use Scotland as a "guinea pig" for cuts.
Farage-ism yet another nail in 'Better Together' coffin
By Mark McNaught
It is the night of the long knives for David Cameron, after 114 backbenchers revolted and voted in the Commons to express ?regret? that an in/out EU referendum bill was not included in the Queen?s Speech.
It is clear that Nigel Farage and UKIP have put the fear of God into the Tories, and Faragisme (pronounced with a French accent, because UKIP has a thing for foreigners) will be a dominant force in Westminster for years to come.
What Kind of European and British Union is Emerging?
By Gerry Hassan, The Scotsman, May 18th 2013
Prague Spring. Two words which evoke a certain feeling, the hopes of a generation, European idealism and the past.
Today Europe could not be in a more different place and frame of mind, the brief optimism of 1968 and 1989 long gone.
All across the continent, European political, elite and civic conversations are underway about ?whither Europe?? and ?what future for the eurozone??
Edinburgh welcomes UKIP
By Max Crema - reproduced courtesy of ScotsPolitics.com
In the tightly controlled and pre-tested world of politics it?s not often that an event occurs which doesn?t fit into a narrative. A company will go bust and left-leaning papers will decry deregulation while their counterparts demand more. A speech will occur, a bill will be passed, a by-election will be won and you can easily predict the media packaging and allegiance for each event.
However, sometimes the narrative doesn?t fit.
Farage and the Farrago of lies
By G.A.Ponsonby
A band of hard line Scottish nationalists this week turned on UKIP leader Nigel Farage, forcing the mild mannered English gent to flee from Edinburgh in fear of his own safety.
This lie is being perpetrated by malevolent forces within the media here in Scotland. It is a lie that has at its heart the aim of portraying Scots who oppose fundamental Unionism as nothing more than an anti-English Facist mob intent on silencing all who oppose them.
Scotland Inspires Me
By Gordon S. Kerman
I had heard about Scotland all my life, growing up in a Canadian family with a Scottish mum, whom I call M. Before leaving Canada I travelled the length and breadth of it, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia and Dawson City, Yukon Territories to the border of the United States and beyond.
My first holiday in Scotland was in August 1995 for a two-week period. I was immediately taken by how different and beautiful the country was in comparison to Canada.
Young Scots debate the independence referendum
Two young Scots representing each side in the independence debate answer questions on the merits of Scottish independence and remaining within the Union.
Ross Greer from Yes Scotland and Michael Low from Better Together give a young person's view of the debate.
Ukip-Tory UK not for confederalists
By George Kerevan
THINGS are afoot in England. A quarter of English voters now support Ukip ? a right wing, populist party that has its roots in the values and nostalgia of Middle England.
Boris Johnson wants the income from council tax, business rates and stamp duty devolved to the London Assembly ? perfectly justifiable, but a body blow to the argument the Union is about fiscal sharing, as the metropolis is the richest part of the UK by far.
First Minister's Questions - 16 May 2013 - video
In keeping with our aim to provide, as often as we can, a full recording of First Minister's Questions, we have uploaded the latest session.
Many people are unable to navigate both the Scottish Parliament's own recordings and BBC Scotland?s online recording of the event, and thus Newsnet Scotland believes that by publishing here we make the event accessible to a much wider audience than would otherwise be the case.
'Better Together' just circling the drain
By Mark McNaught
Last week the Queen gave her speech presenting the UK government?s manifesto for the next year. As I watched it, I wondered to what degree she actually agrees with what she was proposing, or whether she was just channelling the neo-liberal think tanks that provide the Tories with their discredited intellectual architecture.
The Queen?s Delphic treatment of the question of devolution was notably short on substance.
