We saw the ugly side of nationalism finally shine through, and we saw the impact that was having.
You see dear rapiddescent, all those yes flags, all those events, coupled with the things you'd probably rather not hear about or deny ever happened such as militant yes voters physically attacking no campaigners and even splitting up families and neighbourhoods, telling people they weren't true scotsmen if they voted no
Yes we did see the ugly side of nationalism finally shine through but it was British nationalism, not Scottish. Just compare the peaceful crowds of "Yes" supporters in George Square on the eve of poll with the the terrorist supporting "No" thugs tonight. The militant yes voters physically attacking no campaigners are a figment of your imagination, unfortunately the assaults by "No" campaigners are real and several have been arrested and charged.
