I'll condemn any flag burning. I haven't noticed any reports of union flag burning from last night -so don't even know if that's a real image or it is from last night. I certainly wouldn't defend it, neither would I use at as a defence for the ugly side of British nationalism.
The images that I know to be real are from people I know and trust. One of them was an active NO campaigner. He was disgusted. As well as the usual anti-Irish rhetoric, there were chants of "no black in the Union Jack", and God save the Queen was accompanied by nazi salutes.

.... I suspect that my fears of a massive increase in Scottish nationalism are about to be realised.

Not at all, I abhor violence in any form, I just found it strange that you never commented on the Union Flag being set alight even though you did indeed see that image.
