#indyref rant by the way: To those on either side complaining about bullying, intimidation, vandalism...My fiancee is from Belfast. Some of my best friends are from Lebanon and I know Syrians, Israelis, Russians, Poles, Indians...If you used those words to describe the debate our country has had the last few months, they would laugh in your face...Show me the black eyes and broken bones. Show me the looted shopfronts. Show me the body count...but all the scare-mongering has been about slightly shouty men and some ripped posters...Mudslinging isnt impressive, but the fact that Scotland has had a national conversation that has been passionate yet relatively civilised, about an issue so important, reminds me why I believe we can run our own country...Dont buy into the stereotype that Scots are irrationally angry. Thats been a subtly racist tone underlying the media coverage of the debate. We are not 6 million Groundskeeper Willies. We are an intelligent and capable nation. We can look after ourselves thanks.
