The regional breakdown is mental.
The regional breakdown is mental.
The real question here is how many accounts has Harold tried creating in the last 24 hours.
Scotland as a whole (apart from some fisherman) is absolutely SEETHING and according the radio phone in today England is full of racists.
Scottish independence if Sturg calls it now will win. If she cares about the country she'll give it 5-10 years. Holy shit.
HOLY SHIT.
The Scots have a point. There's a strong xenophobic element to this - both directed at Europeans and more far-flung immigrants.
Did someone say the other day that Spain now becomes a net contributor? The fallout for the EU could be just as massive as anything over here. I don't think there will quite be the Armageddon that has been forecast by the remain side but I reckon there will be a lot of belt tightening in the next few years. Medium term I think all will be ok but short term it's going to be tough.
Not his style, he pre-registers accounts. Here's the last months registrations where I've crossed out people that aren't him.Quote:

Ironic then that a lot of Scots didn't want to be a part of the UK because they hate the English.Quote:

Good luck being allowed to join whatever is left of the EU by the time you vote to leave Scotland.
Oh, I agree. It's yet another anti-politics vote. And the EU has fucked itself in particular.Quote:

Exactly. Lol at Sinn Feinn as well.Quote:

Incidentally, is this article 50 process irreversible? Once it kicks in, is the UK bound to leave, or can it simply call it off if things look a bit shit?
Juncker's fired a few shots, I see.
The most sensible outcome of all this would be to actually create a sensible version of the 2 speed Europe which has sort of brought itself into existence with the Eurozone. It won't happen, as that would be seen as sacrificing the project, but, in the long term, it would probably be the best way to preserve it.
Zero because Marine Le Pen will then run riot.Quote:

Claude has said 'non' although I had always thought this the most likely outcome. A hardline to stop contagion seems a massively misplaced strategy. They won't have to worry about contagion if they collapse the wider European economy (including the UK) by refusing to trade on sensible terms with the UK.Quote:

What's Juncker said? Most likely we'll see the anti-democratic nature of that prick, and the other pricks over the next while. They'll see no reason why the result has to be honoured and will think in terms of punishing the UK for voting the wrong way.
Very good speech by Nicola Sturgeon. And i don't blame her one bit for wanting another referendum for independence.
The fallout of this is going to be huge. Big decision to be put on the shoulders of the UK public. Most of whom don't fully understand the reverberation of leaving the EU.
Can't wait to go crawling back to the failed EU project! Hooray! :)
The UK public have been getting it right for thousands of years, that's why we live in such a great country.Quote:

Donald Trump's speech...he just babbles on and says the first thing that enters his head. Gawd bless him.
Can Ruth Davidson become prime minister? :drool:
If you think this vote was about racism, you don't get it.
I think that is the first time I've ever agreed with anything I've heard Nicola Sturgeon say.
Tony Blair is at Leave HQ. All yours Jim.
It was about blacks, wasn't it.Quote:

That's what it should have been about, but I think, in reality, immigration, and the abject failure of the remain campaign to address the issue, was the deal breaker for a significant percentage of the electorate.
Scaremongering by the Remain actually pushed more into the Leave side I reckon.
Yeah, it was a truly disastrous campaign. Historically bad, to match the level of misjudgment which led to calling the damn thing in the first place.
I think that was true for a lot of people, it nearly did for me as well.Quote:

Phillipe Auclair appears to have had an absolute meltdown.
Donald Trump's reaction is probably more sensible than what appears to be the official US Government position. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Wasn't what Juncker said already known? It's an advisory referendum, there wasn't a guillotine hovering over the channel. At the risk of stating the obvious we're still in until the process of leaving takes place, and the renegotiation package obviously won't come into play because what would be the point.
I find it apt that the only party that actually campaigned for what their voters wanted, has won this. And quite comfortably too, compared to how results were expected.
The Tories were always going to be split, but Corbyn seriously fucked Labour over in this.
Quite amused by panicked Brexiters suddenly realising that leaving a trade bloc with all of your major trading partners is actually going to have consequences.
Labor voters voted to remain about 65-35 from memory.
A great number of people from the world of cosy London creativity that I follow on twitter have had massive spazmaloid seizures. Come on, guys. It's only politics.Quote:
