“The push for a divisive referendum is simply irresponsible,” the UK government said

My point was that Sturgeon and Salmond have both said it was a once in a lifetime vote.

It was until material change caused by B....t - plus Cameron and Co lied to voters in Scotland in order to get needed result, that in itself should be enough to invalidate “once in a lifetime” non-legally binding opinion and it obviously meant - “GET OUT AND VOTE!”

So back to what I originally said.

What other detrimental thing is going to come up that will mean another vote and then another one? No-one could see the future when the 2014 vote happened and no-one will know what the landscape will look like a couple of years after the next one.

They had a vote, got a result, and they need to live with it.

Saying "it was sunny when I voted but now it's raining, I demand to vote again" is bollocks.

Is opinion now legally binding?

What if there are different contradictory opinions?

Sturgeon will leave sooner or later, but question of independence won’t - ever.

Frankly after B...t (leaving the Union on the basis of 52-48 referendum) it’s offensive to disallow Scotland run new referendum - best chance for UK is allow it and just agree legally binding minimum period before next can be proposed, and that’s where “once in a generation” could be put on signed paper

According to the UK government, the definition of a generation is seven years. If you don't believe me, check out the NI devolved agreement.

B....t is material enough for sure, continued poor Covid handling by Tory Scum could also give a reason to put a hard EU border.

No, they don't have to live with it just like they don't have to live with one General Election vote.

Crikey, I'd have at least gone for 15 years to let the kids get into puberty before they start reproducing.

They used Mars years in NI agreement, be grateful they did not use Uranus.

It's easy to stop all the future referendum talk in Scotland. Vote in a Unionist supporting parliament. That's all there is to it. I know it's an alien concept to Unionists, but that's how democracy works. Bojo and his massive Westminster majority has the power to do whatever the f**k he likes with 43% of the vote. Why do you want to apply different rules because you don't approve of the party receiving the votes ?

As long as Scotland has pro independence majorities, a referendum will always be on the table.

Maybe if they can explain how they can fund themselves after independence most people will let them get on with it.

Lower corp tax rate to 12.5% and be (Scottish) quids in whilst the City moves to Edinburgh, also rent out nuclear sub base to the highest bidder: sealed bids only, everybody is welcome!

What concern is that of yours ? You don't live in Scotland, you won't be voting there, you won't be taking part in a referendum there, so your input into it is as relevant as your opinion on election results in Outer Mongolia. Plus, you're a mad English Nationalist twat, but that's another story.
