Weasel words, no legal footing, unprecented, and lacking in clarity. Yup, it's a PM comment on self rule. Still, at least he acknowledges that Scotland has the right to decide in some fashion. A step up from the last few PMs.

Now, Sinn Fein have to do us a favour and find out the real route to that border poll. As it looks set that Scotland has to follow that route.

Weasel words indeed. A majority of pro-indepdence MSPs for 15 years, should definitely result in the wheels of democracy moving forward. Instead we've been stuck in stagnation because of the "once in a generation" bollocks.

A generation is often taken to be 20 years. We're not far already. Personally I'd have Holyrood the power to decide to call a referendum on the topic, with the UK government being then bound to publish a section 39 within the current parliamentary term
