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

Xp

London outperforming for Remain but just don't think it's enough.

SAVE US URBAN SOPHISTICATES

the uea dude could be a literal dead baby for all i know, but regardless this looks pretty shit and his prediction seems to be via media rather pessimistic

What's the Lambeth walk? I want to do it.

Alba, I think it could be enough.

SAVE US URBAN SOPHISTICATES

East Lothian is full of them.

i said urban, not urbane

The Wandsworth results are in.

Remain: 118,463 (75%)

Leave: 39,421 (25%)

Wandsworth is one of the most pro-Remain areas in the country, but the remain lead here is even bigger than the Hanretty figures suggested it would be.

vision of Polly Toynbee having an eppy has just added an extra layer of hilarity

On Friday I’ll get my country back. Britain will vote remain | Polly Toynbee

The polls say the vote hangs in the balance. But I refuse to believe it. I don’t believe Britain will take leave of its senses and plunge down into the dark and rancid place the Brexiters would drag us. I want our country back – and I expect it to step back from the brink of this midsummer madness.

Waiting for the result, Thursday will feel like the longest day, though it’s not quite the solstice. I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know this country isn’t the leave campaign’s ingrown place of phobias, conspiracies, fear of foreigners and all the politics of paranoid isolation.

classic internationalist argument from Toynbee there

I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know
I have no more evidence than anyone else, but I think I know

Better turnout in Scotland would really have helped matters here.

Lower turnouts in London and Glasgow was 65% or so

56%

High turnouts are people just turning out to say their lives are shit right?

Sadly, yes.

wtf am I doing still up? Look at the fkn time.

We'll have loads of time to catch up on sleep when we're all jobless.

Because you won't be able to sleep. Or sleep well. I hope you do though.

for some reason the great unwashed and disenfranchised found the cheat code by writing 'oi, i said oi! what you lookin' at, you little rich boy?' on their ballots thereby enfranchising themselves and confounding mi5 and now hitler is going to win

remain the favourite with the bookies again and i'm v drunk

:) aussi

thaT'S NOt me

hang on isn't Scargill dead?

Right, John Mann, that's it, I'm off.

Stroud result good for Remain

John Mann is such a dreadful fatheaded oaf xp

i need a drink and it's only ten to twelve here. need a bottle of nakh's wine to make it more civilised.

idk what stroud is but good work whatever you are

LOL @ McDonnell being set-up.

Stroud's in Gloucestershire. Not seen many results from round there so far, I don't think.

What's Ceredigion?

much loved Game of Thrones regular

this is doing my head in

two bottles left in the case and might open another if this looks close
nb, idk how wachau voted but austria just narrowly defeated hitler (regen edition) despite early worries so who knows

where indeed are you, fizzles

i've fallen under a bizarre wave of fatalistic optimism in the past half hour. basically it's not like i'm ever going to move back to the country so w/e, i'm sure the uk will find some way to work things out whatever happens

stroud's a farming area i think where their interests are probably best served by staying in (subsidies, access to the european market)

newcastle the only region in the north of england to go for remain so far?

Fortuitously, 6Music playing Johnny Cash's '94 Glastonbury set, good potential lullaby for those of us who mustn't risk sleep deprivation.

John Mann, one of the few Labour MPs to vote for Brexit, has just told the BBC that Labour voters have “decisively voted to leave the European Union”.

idk how even the most dire readings so far would support this unless he interprets labour in the same way ukip interpret uk ie between enfield and glasgow

he did look pished tbf

Not even 9pm here, reckon I'm in til the bitter end. Fuck sake.

richmond will go leave won't it

not sure what the greater economic consequences of this might be, but i'm slowly eating my own body weight in crisps

John Mann looks like the type of actor who gets cast as a child molesting police superintendent in a grim bbc drama

hi thomp. sydney. i'm sinking into despair. and yes, it will. remain's campaign frighteners were absurd in that respect. and whoever it was upthread who pointed out the visceral reaction of many to being patronised and condescended to is a factor certainly was otm when it comes to people i know who want out. also the financial argument didn't hold water amongst same people because 'big business f's you over no matter what'.

but it's farage's fucking face that keeps coming back to me. handing power and political validity to these thugs and chancers is utterly nauseating.

richmond is supposedly safe remain
