On the morning of 19/9/14, I stumbled home, bleary-eyed and exhausted. I'd been drinking while watching the results at a pal's house and had fallen asleep when I saw Yes was losing. Two minutes from home, I saw @BBCJohnBeattie jump out of his car with a microphone.

He asked me how I was feeling and I told him I just didn't understand. The No campaign had been invisible. No posters in windows. No street presence. Nothing. "Passionate unionists" had no passion. Then I talked about the media.

He thought I wanted to attack the BBC, which I agreed had its own questions to answer, but on a much more basic level I noted how weird it is that nearly half of Scotland didn't have a newspaper which reflected their political position. That's grossly abnormal.

And that's why Scotland still has Stockholm Syndrome, or the Cringe as many call it: a persistent feeling that Scotland is intrinsically inferior to "proper" countries. It's a deep, deep problem that @ScotNational barely addresses.

I work for @broadcastscot now and we try to make a difference, but it's not easy to start and build a TV station on a near-zero budget. We do it though, and we produce some great shows, but it's still not enough.

Even after independence, Scotland is going to take a long time to recover from its inferiority complex. We've been treated as the poor relation for 300 years and blamed for it for most of that time. Scars like that are literally imprinted on our DNA now, via epigenetics.

The country CAN heal though, but just like a beaten wife, the healing cannot start until the abuse has ended and the only way to end it is to leave.
