A more thoughtful look at how Jim Murphy fits (fitted?) into the No campaign and the ridiculous cybernattery that was rolled out at the time: There is a tone of admonition in the air as vituperative Yes language lights up Twitter, often reflecting the deep distrust and naked dislike of Jim Murphy. Both Iain McWhirter today and Gerry Hassan think its going too far and is counter-productive because it fuels the idea that nationalists are either extremist or thugs – the perception ironically created by Murphy himself, among others. First he provoked and then ran away when he got a reaction. ‘Look – a mob organised by the Yes campaign’ he shouted in just one of many clear made-up slavers that are his hallmark. derekbateman.co.uk/2014/12/16/a-lib-dem-writes/
