I think the SNP is right. Labour getting fucking gutted right now in the northeast. Need more from London obviously and from the northwest.

That's my read on it too. Remain is carrying all of Scotland so far.

Glasgow's results put remain in the lead for the time being!

Come on stay

I go in 3 weeks

Leave leads by 3500 votes.

This sure seems like it is happening

500k lead for Leave! Jeez

How drunk is Farage right now? And how drunk is he about to be? Hahahahaha

Idiots

The pound has lost 10% of its value vs. the dollar in the past 5 hours

Now THIS is something that ought to have bipartisan support.

Apropos of the Brexit, so steeped in Brit lit/history am I that the other day I heard a guy from the UK discussing it on NPR and he was talking about - I was sure - "ROMANia" and "Levia." It took me a minute to - haha- "realize" that he didn’t mean the literal Romania, but was rather talking about the Brexit. I then reasoned that "Romania" must be people who wanted to stay in the EU, and were called this as a way of invoking Britain's long historical and founding-myth ties to continental Europe, particularly Rome, and thus "Romanians." I further reasoned that "Levia" must be those who wanted to leave, and derived its name from Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, and was busy working out exactly what the reference was when it dawned on me the guy was saying that the two "nations" were Remain-ia and Leave-ia.

I'm more British than the reporter is what I took away from this episode.

I hear there is a rumor Cameron will resign and call an election following this.

I hope the smug fuck feels just great

My inner conservative reactionary is enjoying this a lot. God bless the nation state, fuck supranational organizations with no democratic responsiveness.

I would have figured you for a stay guy.

It's an interesting question. The idea that populist left and right could find common cause on this seems much closer to reality than the idea, for example, that Trump supporters and Sanders supporters here are actually ideologically similar.

But pretty sure I would have voted to stay.

I would've voted stay 40 times

BBC calls it for Leave

Brit talking heads laying it to anti immigrant "sentiment" (racism).

How's your inner reactionary feel about that

Just pathetic. Cameron should be ashamed.

Does Scotland get a redo?

I don't know how to feel, I'm torn simply because I ignored all the fear-mongering and looked at what really mattered and either way things are so unpredictable no-one knows what the fuck will happen now. But on the surface leave won because alot of working class people have serious problems with immigrants ( racism? probably) and will buy into immigrant based fear-mongering, that and they see this as their chance to fuck Cameron and the Tories.

The worst part of all of this thought is that smug, oily, racist cunt Farrage is going to be even more insufferable, fuck! I hate him with a passion, fuck him I hope he chokes on a shriveled cock!
