What was the reaction down south like to the referendum? Were yes voters portrayed as a bunch of English haters and do you think english people with think twice about moving to Scotland now?
I detected no malice whatsoever. People were curious, and then surprised when it became clear that it was going to be close (though I'd been telling them all along that it would be), but I never got the sense that they felt it was a hostile thing directed against them. Most people I encountered wished us good luck - a lot of them were jealous that we had some sort of alternative on offer to the current Westminster set-up.
