Psychoactive Substances: Rolling UK Politics in The Neo-Con Era

xxp clearly the people of sunderland did not listen to my concerns re: my halifax account

more booze.

if the pound goes up, leave got more votes?

xpost great to see foyles tottenham court road coming out in favour of remain

lol caek

Hear Remain might be as high as 83% in Lewisham - we going to see London v the rest of the country?

finally

"John Redwood, the Conservative pro-Brexit MP, has just told Sky News that a fall in the value of the pound is not necessarily something to worry about. If it falls too much in value, people will start buying it again, he said."

Gideon Rachman ‏@gideonrachman 2m2 minutes ago

Reports of 70 percent Leave votes in Warwickshire and Hartlepool. This feels over

If Lewisham really is 83% that's huge for Remain and points to massively more regionalised results/divided country blah blah than was expected

sorry, yes, if the pound goes down, leave got more votes than expected

jesus @ nakh

caek, your weird belief in the mystical powers of the market is showing again - the people thrashing the currency markets around don't have access to any better information than us.

i literally just said this: "the markets don't know anything we don't any more, so [movement of the pound] not worth worrying about on its own."

the markets don't know anything we don't any more, so not worth worrying about on its own.

lol xp

tbf having a soft cargo cult addiction to liberal democracy is a way better diving rod

but yes i do think the average opinion of a few hundred currency traders, or a few thousand betters, are worth paying more attention to than the four pundits on the bbc who are sat around joking about how wrong they were last year

even at this early stage, i fucking hate this feeling of dread, of separation from people in this country whom i don't know or ever meet. it is really grim.

Swindon strongly for leave too.

fuck Swindon tbh

den of swines

I'd expect shitholes to vote Leave though.

total silence in the newsroom after Swindon there

Swindon result is no big deal –  55-45 is slightly better for Remain than the two forecasts I'm aware of.

Farage with the accurate assessment of Leave voters

Can only imagine LG. I'm invested as I lived there, have friends in the uk etc, but to see these early results unfold I'd feel very much alone, too.

Wonder what country you will wake up in tomorrow.

And Scilly isles have gone well to Remain, where Leave was forecast by APCO

it is vote by vote, right?

"nick what are you doing tonight?"

"being one of the worst people alive."

pondering whether if Leave wins i can claim tomorrow off work on a "stockpiling camembert" ticket

Friends in Sunderland have said that most of the money for regeneration projects has come from the EU. But that never seemed to be in the news at all, not even from Remain campaigners.

I'm just glad I've got a therapy session tomorrow. Going to need it.

Glasgow turnout looks hella low at 56%

The market movement is more useful as a bellwether of what might happen to the pound eventually than as an indicator of the result itself, I'm sure that's what caek was getting at.

breaking news, Glastonbury audience secedes. demands urban safari

from a night eighteen months ago i remember the turnout in the deprived quarters of glasgow being extremely low

think i might watch children of men

Orkney, Clackmannashire, Isles of Scilly, Gibraltar. No worries for Remaisn.

:)

this isn't actually happening is it

this is just like the election, the same feeling ronan describes

Glasgow overall turnout was 75% for indyref

it's so fucking crazy, uk has the most non-existent reasons for leaving of pretty much any country in the EU!

it's almost as if
