UK Supreme Court blocks the chance of another Scottish Independence referendum (the previous one was before Brexit). Imagine if that happened in China with Tibet. It only shows what double standards are applied all over the world and that democracy is only a word in some cases.

The last one was in 2014 and everyone agreed there wasn't going to be another for a generation ie 2040 or so.

The time frame for "generation" is very loose and can easily be manipulated. Reminds me how USA promised to grant Philippines independence but later claimed "they were not ready" so kept the colonization in tact until WWII finally swept the cards from the table and USA had no choice anymore. Since Scotland was mostly pro-EU I guess Brexit has also altered the possible agreements. Anyway, it clearly shows how "independence" can be manipulated within democratic politicial frames. UK Supreme Court decides when you can decide about independence
