Not really Drew.
The 2014 ref gave whatever UK govt was returned subsequently a mandate.
You are being emotional other than factual.
And Sturgeon signed the Edinburgh agreement, which bound the UK and Scottish govts to respect and recognise the outcome of the 2014 referendum.
Sturgeon would have got on her first day at lawyer school, 'don't sign anything you don't mean'.
There's a reason the SNP haven't taken their 'mandate for another referendum' to constitutional law court, they don't have a pot to pee in.
