Yes, there is plenty of video evidence of this online, including from our disgraced ex fisrt minister, as well as the present one, saying not just that the referendum was a once in a generation event, but also a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The precedent has now been set. As soon as any referendum is held, then 50-ish% of the electorate demand another one. So for example, just say there was a referendum and the Scexiteers win. Then another referendum is demanded because circumstances have now changed. We in Orkney bring out the "being dragged out against our will" line (the Scexiteers will have a big uphill struggle to get a Yes vote in every single counting area in Scotland, expecially Orkney and Shetland). With the previous precedent set, the Scexiteers will surely have no choice but to apply their own "rules" - Won't they?
