You have hit the nail on the head.
In my opinion all the current animosity in U.K. and Scottish politics is caused by people failing to accept the result of the last two referendums namely the Scottish Independence referendum in September 2014 with the Yes supporters refusing to accept the result and the EU referendum in June 2016 where the Remainers again refused to accept the result.
If I had been on the losing side of each referendum I would have accepted the result with good grace and got on with it.
