I'm going to say my bit then respectfully decline from getting involved in this one because I've got to the point that I'll not be able to hold my tongue but what this has degenerated into at ground and grass roots level is disgusting.

The police are having to man larger polling stations and thousands of Yes campaigners march on the BBC because they feel a journalist ( a very highly regarded and senior journalist at that ) has slighted them? Leaders of our national parties can't speak on the streets because large mobs are screaming them down?

I'm out hanging up placards and going door to door canvassing and people are screaming at me, threatening violence and threatening to stab me?

I could go on for hours giving examples and I know my side have a nefarious element too but it's truly been a sad month for the democratic process and the tension and division this has brought up (in a country already permeated with sectarian aggro) isn't going to disappear come Friday morning.
