Don't think so, been watching politics all day. I'm sure she'll try though. Westminster would have a far easier time blocking a 2nd independence referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon can go fuck herself.
Scotland voted to be part of the U.K.
The U.K. voted to leave the EU.
Suck it up Sturgeon.

Umm...yeah how could Scotland block the exit? Lol. Seems like a lot of unrest now with many people not wanting to move on. And I feel both sides have a good case.

The thing they need to worry about is what was the breakdown of Scottish "IN" voters compared to those who voted "NO" at the independence referendum. Unless they can be sure that 100% of the "IN" voters would vote "YES" for independence, the numbers aren't there for a second referendum.
As for the overall storm right now, I can't believe all the fuss I'm seeing from friends and family... guys, the UK is still in Europe, still in NATO, still going to have trade agreements, still going to have jobs, and the pound is still better value than the euro. Even after the vote, it's not going to change anything short term, so don't panic!
I honestly had someone on FB crying about "What continent am I from now I'm not European?"

Some people have lost the plot over this. Complete confusion over the difference between Europe and the EU and terrified by the scaremongery.

Tell me about it! Apparently Wayne Rooney thought the "Leave EU" vote meant the team should head back early from France!

I seem to be on the opposite side to most of you here. I still am adamant that leave was the wrong choice & I really do hope a re-run or Scotland block the exit, they are perfectly entitled to under the agreements that were in place well before the voting started. Even the government are technically allowed to ignore the vote and change the decision, they can easily decide that based on current forecasts. A huge number of the leave voters thought that immigration would stop completely, that there wouldn't be any more Indian, Pakistani's... etc moving to the UK. Did they not realise that India & Pakistan aren't in the EU... and a huge number of leave voters voted in "protest" expecting remain to win. Tons of lies unraveling by the leave campaigners. The loss to the economy already will take an estimated 15~ years to earn back and as for the racism and hate crimes going on all across the UK in the last few days... I'm embarrassed to be British. We have some twat Nigel Farage making shit worse with the EU commissioners. Nick Clegg in 2014 pretty much said all of this would happen. The polls over the last few days show that if a re-vote was done that it looks like it would an easy remain vote with the polls showing a massive 72% of people wanting to remain which is a rise of over 19% from their original polls that were pretty much spot on with the result. A great little image on how voters voted in general:

I'm assuming that since now Britain will be able to make its own laws, there's going to be a rash of new more exiting laws passed!

That's not a bad thing if you think about it, "Don't know" could relate to the fact they don't have one particular main reason. The main fucktards are those that voted as a "form of protest" expecting the other side to win. I'm assuming that since now Britain will be able to make its own laws, there's going to be a rash of new more exiting laws passed! Unlikely, also the queen has to sign all new laws off so she can reject them if she wishes. Well exciting or boring, at least we get to make them. ( but not yet WB , we haven't triggered article 50 yet and some remainers are doing their best to overturn the result) I would overturn it if it was in my control! You darn leaver haha I've had offers from friends in Germany, USA, Canada, Australia & France if I want to leave the UK that I am more than welcome to stay with them until I find a place.

If you wanna get technical about it - it was an advisory referendum only - and not a binding one - so the government don't HAVE to act on it. I think their might be civil war if they don't, mind.

That's not quite true. Johnson didn't put himself forward. But of the five that did, 3 are Brexit and two remain,
Theresa May- Remain, but kept out of the campaign with an eye on her own political career
Gove - Brexit
Liam Fox- Brexit
Stephen Crabb- Remain
Andrea Leadsom- Brexit.
If you want real comedy take a look at the Labour Party.

So those that rose up in indignation and rage against the rotten EU and the pesky foreigners are no longer in a hurry to formally cut ties and make Britain great again. They have suddenly understood why we have been attached to Europe for 40 years - not because we really want to but because the alternatives are dire. So now they want to negotiate a worse deal and are waking up to the fact that new individual trade deals and replacement legislation take years and years of uncertainty and work. And the worst thing about it is how they conned the thickest half of Britain to vote for the most complex direction by using the simplest slogans.
A triump of pure and blind emotion over any kind of logic, strategy or solution. No wonder the leading candidate to lead Britain out of the EU is a remainer - and she will only do it to get/keep the job

So the front runner to become the PM that leads Britain out of the EU and into greatness is a remainer who insists she will now uphold the referendum if given the job.
And the flag waving brexit Tory who is in second place and backed by the fascists? Surely she has an exit manifesto and is eager to negotiate Britain leaving?
So the thickos who are still saying 'no second referendum, everything will be ok' dont have a single leader who even believes in brexit, let alone has any clue about what comes next yet wants to negotiate with the Eu instead of completely leaving, yet the thickos are happy we gave a finger to the EU (and are still doing with Farage) whilst their would be leaders want to negotiate and need goodwill from the same Eu being dissed , duh! Yet the Mail, Express and Sun readers are dancing in the streets thinking immigration will suddenly be halted and Britain will be great - just like that

What' s the source of your first article? You don't give it. The implication is that it's the BBC, but it clearly isn't the BBC. It surpasses by far The BBC's bias for 'remain'.
I can see the source for the second post is the Daily Mail.
