Scare story bites the dust

Folk are rightly concerned about their pensions.

Better Together, in Shetland and elsewhere, has exploited pensioner fears for their political ends, but they should have checked with the UK pensions minister first.

The coalition government Lib Dem pensions minister Steve Webb, while giving evidence to the Scottish Affairs Select Committee, confirmed that anybody who had paid into the UK national insurance system would be entitled to their state pension whatever the outcome of the referendum. 

Yet another scare story bites the dust.
