The Referendum. SNP. Tories. Independence. Etc.

Another Shug vote from me, and one for Mike - unfortunately the Yes campaign and voter tatics made for more sensationalist stories, stirring up more emotion and divide, and the press lapped it up... Creating a bit of a vicious circle with the more extreme/vocal public who believe everything they read in the red tops.

The thing is

I didn't read about people i work with telling me I should leave the country as i wasn't welcome up here. i experienced it with my own eyes

I didn't read about the NO campaign having their posters regularly destroyed and vandalised. i experienced it with my own eyes

I didn't read about YES campaigners calling me an english cnut. i experienced it with my own eyes.


I only things i read in the papers was a YES vote would bring FAR higher spending and less tax

By emotive I mean pics of Mel Gibson in Braveheart form, implying that to vote Yes is the patriotic thing to do... But I guess it depends on what papers you read.

That's how it was sold though (by the SNP) - "Team Scotland"...
