A petition saying a second Scottish Independence referendum
"should not be allowed to happen" has reached 113,000 signatures.
The petition, on the Government's official website, could
put a spanner in the works for Nicola Sturgeon, as it is growing by the minute.
It has reached the 100,000 signature threshold and now the
Government must consider it for a debate.
It says: "Another Scottish independence referendum
should not be allowed to happen.
"We in Scotland are fed up of persecution by the SNP
leader who is solely intent on getting independence at any cost. As a result,
Scotland is suffering hugely."

Despite the fact people from across the UK can sign the
petition, it is by far the most popular in Scotland.
Alex Salmond's constituency has one of the highest volumes
of signatures.
1,778 people in the former leader of the SNP's constituency
have signed the petition.
This comes as the majority of Scottish voters wish to remain
in the British union, despite Nicola Sturgeon's latest demands for a Scottish
referendum, according to the latest polling from YouGov.
Some 57 per cent of Scots would vote No in an independence
referendum, according to the poll, although younger people aged 18-24 were
overwhelmingly in favour of independence.
