Ok but Nicola won a mandate from the people of Scotland to hold another referendum in the recent election. A much bigger mandate than Boris got for Brexit I might add.

How does that change the fact that the last referendum was a once in a lifetime vote? It didn't say it was a once in a lifetime vote, unless Nicola gets a particularly good result partially because Labour failed. And Boris has a mandate for something the people actually voted for last time.

if Scotland truly want to be independent, they will be, Boris won't be able to stop it.

Politicians say a lot of things. Alex Salmond also said before the vote in 2014 there could be a second vote if there was a mandate to hold one in a Scottish Parliament election, which happened in 2016, as well as the second mandate in the election last month. Referendums do tend to be ‘once in a generation’ but Scotland was told the only way to stay in the EU was to vote No. Well we did vote no, and were ignored. A lot has changed since 2014, surely you must see that?
