I suspect very large numbers of those who would vote No have kept it quiet and low key to avoid the retribution of the so-called patriots. Then what happens in the polling booth is non-attributable. I also suspect that the venom of many of the Yes side activists in question will continue after the conclusion, whatever the outcome.

So much for Salmond's hype of a glittering future. All this has unnecessarily created division and animosity, unfortunately reinforcing totally false stereotypes of the Scottish people. Reminds me of the disgraceful antics of the BNP some time ago.

It should be remembered that it is a tiny minority of a few dozen idiots that are probably delaying the possibility of a further referendum some years away when maybe the time will more appropriate.

One of the big surprises in the campaign has been the transformation of Gordon Brown into what he really was all the time - a passionate and powerful Labour evangelist. Labour back in power before long?

The comment was about "NO" supporters behaviour.

Unless the "Yes" supporter was stabbed in the face by another "Yes" supporter,I must have got it wrong

Actually the margin is wider than most pundits / public predicted. If the "Yes" campaign got some of the fundamental issues nailed on without any doubt then it may have been different. The "No" campaign was fairly dismal until Gordon Brown injected some fire into it within the last few weeks - if it was more punchy from the start the margin may have been wider - who knows

If Independence is not the outcome I really hope a shake up of UK political complacency, as promised, is delivered and that is a legacy that the "Yes" campaign can be proud of

Personally speaking - a good, common sense result from the Scottish People
