Being an Englishman living in Scotland, with both Scottish and English family, I see things from a different angle than many. Also, running a B&B we get lots of English visitors here, and whenever the subject comes up, they all think Scotland is going its own way next year.
This really isn't surprising, because all they ever hear about the matter on their telly boxes is from Fat Aleck or Angus Robertson, who if possible is even more smug than his boss.
Oh, and it doesn't help that Scotland's sporting anthem is a folk song about the longing for independence, likening the Union to an English occupation that needs to be sent homeward to think again. After a "no" vote next year, that choice of song is going to look pretty incongruous.
The balance of the panel on QT last week should have gone some way towards correcting that, seeing as it has presented the balance of views for and against separation broadly in line with the consistent evidence of the opinion polls. That will be why the SNP was so miffed by it.
