The problem is, the SNP has had the field to itself since forever. They have been used to making wild assertions about how indeScotland will be a land flowing with milk and honey without anyone bothering to call them out on it. Now, there is an actual debate leading to an actual vote and people are calling them out on their nonsense. And it is suddenly becoming clear that the SNP has grown so used to making unchallenged assertions, they actually didn't realise that this time, they were going to have to have some evidence and some convincing arguments behind them.

It is truly shocking that with each assault on their assertions, their response is invariably to claim that they are being bullied, their opponents are preposterous, everyone else is wrong and the SNP is right.

The truly awful Angus Robertson has been on the airwaves this morning uttering threats about the Scottish people rising up against all these bullies. He treats the Scottish people with contempt, assuming that they all see things the way the SNP tells them, without engaging any critical faculties at all.
