Electorate strives for Indyref2

Sir, – I see Alister union Jack, appointed by the government in London to preside over Scottish affairs and anointed by Boris Johnson to enter the House of Lords, has been once again trotting out the Tory mantra the SNP does not respect the outcome of the 2014 referendum.

May I point out to Mr Jack that it is not the SNP but rather the Scottish electorate, whose sovereignty is enshrined

in the Claim of Right, that has steadfastly striven for a second referendum on independence.

I feel in no way bound to accept the result of the 2014 referendum and find no reason to respect an outcome gained by lies, threats and false promises.

The sooner we have our referendum and can begin the inevitable process of separation from this toxic union the better it will be for Scotland and all its people.

Ni Holmes.
