Did any broadcaster or paper use "Och Aye the No"???

The only one I've seen is Private Eye using the 'Private Och Aye', along with the tagline...'You're fortnightly dose of saltire'...

I note the folded ballot paper logo has been updated along with the text to read 'Scotland's Decision' (from 'Scotland Decides')

A Behind the Scenes film has also appeared online on the BBC's website.

I've seen some silly tweets aimed at the BBC post-referendum


Quite how privatisation would cure a supposed pro-independence bias, I'll never know.

The animosity aimed at journalists from the BBC, ITN etc. in Scotland is really quite depressing. Some elements of the Yes camp seem to think that any reporting that wasn't positive towards them, or reflected the No camp in a positive light, was biased.

It comes to something when reporters who worked in Northern Ireland during The Troubles and Scotland during the Referendum campaign think the Scottish experience was worse...

Does Scotland 2014 run until the end of the year and any word on if Newsnight Scotland is totally over? I hope not to the former and I hope so to the latter...

Leading to the suggestion the yes vote was stunted because people were "brainwashed" into voting no. Of course in 1992 about 90% of the media was supporting the Conservatives, and there was no Wings Over Scotland or anything else to offset that. Yet Labour and Labour voters accepted the result.
