Noone needed the media to tell you that Yes team were desperate. Insulting people, calling them racist or dickheads or stupid, was the nail in the coffin for the referendum
Pornonporn was correct
"We were sick of being constantly mocked if we chose no"
People hated Elites telling them what to think
It's that simple
Don't overcomplicate things
