That's the key one^

Fwiw my 82 year old mum and 83 year old neighbour. Neighbour's explanation was that "ye already don't know where ye soon with these nutcasees" (ston=stand)

Oops. both voted remain.

Well I fucked that up good and proper.

newcastle city council's logo is so ugly

Oh fuck, Newcastle was one of the safest remainers!

I don't know anything about it but apparently Newcastle is a terrible result for Remain. 60-40 was expected.

eeesh, tight as fuck

fffffffffff

How can Newcastle be the first result from the mainland btw? And not some small county?

city's are physically compact. that's what matters for counting quickly.

Because they have a rivalry with their neighbours, Sunderland, who always declare first.

Oh god oh god we're all going to die

Ty caek and jed

And Sunderland are going to stomp all over Remain.

If Sunderland is as bad as rumoured I might just go to bed.

pound still up on the day, bookies at 82% remain before you all start topping yourself

Thanks caek.

also 5/5 polls released today had it for remain

yeah this newcastle thing is scary but all the odds are still wildly towards remain. everyone prob should just go to bed though.

interpreting individual results (e.g. newcastle, sunderland, etc.) and extrapolating from those to the national result is extremely error prone. the slightest error in yr modelling of the demographics/intentions of a relatively small number of people relative to the national average and you're on shaky ground.

Clackmannanshire voted remain! Can recommend anyone to go there for hols, nice area.

Seriously, Ronan p much otm, bed be best.

I hate this early phase where every result sways things.

Looking for Scotland to keep England in EU against its will.

Fuck. Sunderland leave by a mile.

ooofff Sunderland....

Remain annihilated.

oh man the voices at Sunderland

I'm assuming there are a lot more immigrants in Newcastle than Sunderland?

pound just dropped 5p against the dollar

sorry 4p

god this is so horrible

There are a lot less students and people with degrees or higher level qualifications Tom.

Sleepwalking towards disaster.

GBP implodes by 4%

I fucking hate how things that are supposed to be sensible, like markets, and telly, sway from one result to the next. That should be a viewer's exclusive anxiety right?

No disrespect, but it's East Yorkshire. Who can be surprised really?

What's East Yorkshire?

hopefully the UK and its government will stand up to the forces of right wing xenophobia

North-Yorks then, but the east side of it. No way West-Yorks will vote the same, xxp

Xp kind of lol but mostly sad

are the currency fluctuations not just based on in-the-moment gambling?

like presumably these early results tighten things but also the markets are flinging cash around. i mean i really don't know...

He's right, but shat on Lineker regardless xp

Newcastle and Sunderland are not in any part of Yorkshire.

when the currency moves like that seconds after a result is announced it's not in the moment gambling but a real "correction" (not that where it ends up is "correct")

Jeez thought you have a bro in hedge funds Ronan, you should know!

(I certainly don't)

so it's a reason for concern? seems like we're still at some kind of speculative early stage, but again, i dunno.

xpost - i studied journalism, he did maths.

JimD, my mistake

Still seems way too early indeed.

the markets don't know anything we don't any more, so not worth worrying about on its own. the results are the only thing worth worrying about right now, but i feel like the pound and especially betting odds can help you get out of your own head and keep things in perspective (currently 69% remain with the bookies)

Remind me to give Sunderland a wide berth in future, they don't take kindly to strangers up there, yep.
