Ms Sturgeon, and her hordes of 16 and 17 year old numpties who were allowed to vote in that ref. seem to think it's a done deal - but as far as most sensible people are concerned, it's not.
Anyway, if she gets her way (and please Boris, don't let her), and she loses again, we'll have another shot in four or five years. It's like kids who want a sweetie, and don't get it - they keep saying 'please, please, please' until they get their own way, and so much for the last 'once in a generation ref.
As Ruth Davidson ( former leader of Conservatives In Scotland) said of wee Nic 'she goes to sleep thinking of ways to get Scotland Independence, and wakes up thinking the same' - never bothering about things like education, health service, etc, that a Government is supposed to bother about.
Rant over.
Little bit insulting to 16 & 17 year olds. In actual fact, at the time of the 2014 Referendum there were many mock referenda in schools around Scotland. It might surprise you to learn that the school votes were almost all 50:50 on the Scottish Independence issue. They do have minds of their own and are able to use them, despite your trite little comment.
