Excuse me but I did not call you a divisive thug for being a socialist if you look over my post properly I said it of Sheridan.
And I won't be ashamed of that one at all.
The whole yes campaign has been very good at wilfully ignoring the bits that don't quite got with the narrative of 'fair and equal/greener' etc.
Sheridan (thug) was part of the anti-bedroom tax coalition which is very noble indeed yet when four out of the six SNP mps didn't even bother to turn up for the vote at Westminster he barely batted an eyelid.
On something so important, a main thread in their campaign, just ignored it.
And Patrick Harvie of the greens wasn't too concerned either when Salmond write a personal love letter to EDF boss regarding nuclear power stations being all fine and good with him.

Oh and of course Trident may have been 'removed from the Clyde' but regardless there was a 'park them here anyway boys' policy that again the Yes support from the Greens just conveniently ignored.

Barely a whimper of disappointment.
Then most strikingly I think is Women for Independence who got all frothed up about a stupid Better Together ad with a dopey woman staring into her coffee, yet barely raised an eyebrow at this real, deep horrible abuse of a young mum out speaking up for the rights of disabled kids.
Remember Claire Lally?
Ripped to shreds by lies spread about her being connected to the old provost Pat Lally (which she wasn't) and all from one of Salmond's henchmen Campbell Gunn.

Now that website for some reason is regarded as informative and kicking against the mainstream but I tell you it makes The Torygraph and The Daily Heil come across as The Early Learning Centre Christmas catalogue.
Nasty little creep calling himself a Rev.
And you feel sorry for 'no' voters?
As far as further devolution goes, which for everyone's sake will happen, that did not inform the 'no' vote in particular.
I was voting no regardless, many were, and the early indicators of 'no' was due to the 700,000 postal votes that were cast way before the three amigos from Westminster rode into town.

EDIT: And one more thing, if there was indeed 'bullying' it came from the Yes side nowhere else, as that is the classic ploy of the bully, telling people you are 'scared' because you don't agree with them.
Here's hoping for a bit of peace now.
