Scottish YES voters turn to dirty tactics through panic?

3 weeks to go until the day of the referendum, and locally there has been an increase in 'battle lines' being drawn by campaigners for either side.
Now I'm not quite sure what the point in these campaigners is, as I certainly wouldn't be swayed by some pompous old biddy coming to my doorstep trying to make me agree with her opinion, and I think most people have made up their mind and won't be swayed.
Over the past year, the Yes campaign has done an excellent job of putting their little stickers, posters, huge billboards, etc up around the place to increase awareness. In the past week I have noticed a big increase in 'team UK' or 'proud to be Scottish, delighted to be united' banners, as well as up in the fields the 'no thanks' wooden lettering. A lot of these are vanishing, after being ripped down, and locally the 'no thanks' wooden installation was burnt down. Meanwhile the Yes campaigns stuff is left untouched.
Today Menzies Campbell was making a speech in the local park and once again you get the giddy 'ILLEGAL WARS' idiot parrots screaming over the top of him, reminiscent of the woman in the middle of the Audience of Mondays TV debate who looked like she had just won the lottery every time salmond spoke, and wet her knickers when salmond got all excited like a kid at Christmas about using the pound.
Going to be warfare up here in the event of a NO vote, as the YES vote is getting increasingly unstable and giddy. God forbid they should snatch it, the smugness will be unbelievable.
Hopefully they can keep their excitable hands in their pockets and stop trying to smother the yes campaign with bullying tactics.
Peace.

In what way?
The UK have already said no currency union will happen so Scotland will never get a lender when it comes to money. How will we be able to support ourselves? We will be bankrupt overnight.
Fife... And going by the amount of pro/anti paraphernalia around here I'm extremely surprised that you say that... Where on earth do you live?!
Does this mean the Better Together campaign has been panicking for about a year?

I suggest you close this thread. There are examples on both sides. Not just one. You've had your little rant.
That must mean that it's true. Surely!!
I know it shouldn't but the 'poo on the door handle' story made me laugh
It is isn't it.

Pure bluff.
Oh dear it was my first visit to twitter and I hope it’s not a sign of what’s to come.....whatever the outcome of the vote it’s going to run and run.
voting yes the latest one is dont vote yes as The torys are plotting revenge on us if we do
i believed that as much as i would take this thread at all seriously
Doesn't count. Not relevant to the No campaign as only they can get their feelings hurt.
There have been lots of reports that No supporters have been afraid of putting a poster in their window in case they got abuse or worse.

Have a look at #10. Not just a one sided thing.
Here's a couple of comments on the Guardian report on the abuse of Mr Murphy,
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/aug/29/scotland-referendum-jim-murphy-abuse
Vote YES and rid ourselves of these brit *******. Murphy et al should realise that if you shout lies in the street, you are going to get a reaction from people who know you to be a bloody liar.
All of you commentators - aka brit trolls - who suddenly appear from the ether should know that we don't give a monkeys what you think. How many votes do you have in this referendum Wessexboy? Do one laddie..
and,
He should be thankful for Scottish civility. In other countries proponents of the occupation were actually Lynched, and Quislings were shot dead.
Here is a man who proposes the continuation of the English occupation, although it has generate a cultural genocide over the last centuries, forced out of Scotland 3/4rths of the Scottish people, and was using Scotland resources to finance their empire and Scotsmen to man English colonials armies so the Queen and her cronies can easier squeeze profits out of other unfortunated people,
Good grief!
