Sajid Javid said he won’t ‘allow’ another Scottish referendum and Scottish Twitter’s response was brutal

If you become PM you’ll be the last British prime minister ever to live under the delusion that you have the right to tell the sovereign citizens of Scotland what questions we can and cannot answer about our own future.

Tories telling Scots they're not allowed to do something always goes down well. Keep it coming… https://t.co/cseYWZStlU

Just imagine if the EU had said “it would not allow” the UK to have a referendum on staying a member. He would have called them all the names in the world. Are all unions equal? Whatever your views are on independence, do you want politicians using language like Mr Hubristic? https://t.co/OnnMyMMzta

Perhaps you might start to respect democracy & sovereignty. The Scottish Government has a mandate and a pro independence majority. You might start to show some respect and not dictate to Scotland what you think is best. After a thumping election defeat humility might be in order https://t.co/UCCLsDqt4i

We’re with this person.
“Won’t allow”. Good grief. As a fellow Englishman, I can only say that the arrogance underlying such a comment makes me think, “Scotland – don’t tolerate this for a second longer. Get the hell out of the Union as fast as you can.” #IndyRef2 #Scotland
