Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist

      Sorry , I was wrong with ‘once in a lifetime’ the exact language used was ‘once in a generation’

      “The debate we are engaged in as a nation is about the future of all of us lucky enough to live in this diverse and vibrant country. It is a rare and precious moment in the history of Scotland - a once in a generation opportunity to chart a better way.” Alex Salmond.

      “It is the view of the current Scottish Government that a referendum is a once-in-a-generation opportunity." Scottish Government White Paper.

      Did they have their fingers crossed behind their back when they said these things?
