LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon on Friday there would be no new independence referendum and said the previous vote in 2014 must be respected. “The Prime Minister made clear how he remained opposed to a second independence referendum, standing with the majority of people in Scotland who do not want to return to division and uncertainty,” his office said in a statement. “He added how the result of the 2014 referendum was decisive and should be respected.”

NanovYurbiz Us Scots had one in 2014. We voted to remain in the United Kingdom. That is called democracy!

She’s a power hungry fruit loop

NicolaSturgeon needs to invite the filthypieceoftoerag and then kick him hard in the balls with 👠 . Disagree with all nationalism though - sorry Nicola. Big fan

Aye right!

The left uses the same wisdom on the Scottish referendum on overwhelmingly shooting down Scotxit as I'd did in denial of the British people's favor of Brexit.

When will Boris take the word 'freedom' out of the Scottish dictionary? Brexit means BrUKxit.

Anyone have a braveheart meme for this?

i would genuinely love to hear bj's arguments against a Scottish referendum

So he had a mandate to get Brexit done by English people but apparently Sturgeon (who ran her election with a promise to have a new referendum and to stay in EU) is not allowed to act on her mandate! And Boris wonders why they want to leave, who can blame them.

I hope Boris can shut her mouth for always talking about independence but not the real problem face by the people of Scotland. They need real leader not a rebel.

Ya don't have a choice fool. Ya gotta respect the outcome of the vote remember?! You can't have Brexit AND the UK, and you made your choice.

He won't allow it simple there success in the election changes nothing at all in terms of the Scottish independence they could have won every seat and it still wouldn't change the constitution

Haaaaaa like she cares what he thinks or says!!

😶

He’ll have to concede.

Hopefully someone has the courage to do in Britain, what no one has had the strength to do in America to the current bozos ruining...I mean “running” their respective territories.

goodclimate of course he did

So Um, isnt he all about respecting the will of the people?

The irony of wrapping yourself in the union jack to push for brexit only to destroy the very union it represents.

Oh, i think there will be a new and last Scottish referendum. UK leaves EU, Scotland will leave UK. Let's get Scotxit done!

I hope the Queen told Sturgeon too no way will she want the Union broken up!

Ah yes, we forgot that democracy is when it suits the interests of the ruling party only, the rest is anarchy and bullshit demands of the peasants.

how come the greatest democracy in the world is not allowing a vote?

Of course he would say that....

Perhaps there should be; as long all the consequences are laid out clearly: no more funding from the rest of the UK & NI. Full conformance with EU regulations

Au moins c’est dit. Mais NicolaSturgeon n’a pas dit son dernier mot !

'welcome to my little party..of us two.. snug hey...drink? No? Pissed already? *Snort* no? Oh..ok...so.. what did you want me for?...Referen.. another..oh glory no. Sorry, no.'

SNP will see Johnson in Court.

Brexit was a mistake

we will see

Give him a hit!

Totally agree!!!

We'll see. How about a unified Ireland? Boris lost both Scotland & Northern Ireland - major trouble is brewing.

Nicola, prepare to loose the Barnet Formula!

The best time for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to break is now. Still can be a commonwealth.

Unlike Catalonia, the EU won't be undermining unilateral actions by Scotland. A second referendum seems all but inevitable during lifetime of this Parliament. Bookies seem to this no so, anyway.

k_berenda On that very moment or what?

But I thought Brexit was about sovereignty and respecting nationalism. But does that only apply to British nationalism? Is this Britain Uber Union?

Started bullying.

Scotland just need to initiate change in how they are governed, so they don’t need permission from a WhiteSupremacist to vote for their lives.

BJ is no Olivier Cromwell. If the Scots choose to move forward with a secession referendum is he going to send a parliamentary New Model Army north to keep them in the UK by force?

Boris & Natasha want independence from the EuropeanUnion, but they want to retain dominion over others.

Oh Did He ?

BORIS. dont underestimate the Scott's.

Johnson can look forward to Court action then.

Want a bet?

Looks like Merkel’s daughter

Off course, going for the referendum again and again until get the desired result, doesn’t make sense.

Instead we will build a wall - getting plans off realDonaldTrump - NicolaSturgeon paying
