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

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 โ€œdecisively voted to leave the European Unionโ€.

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

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

Blandford Forum, Friday, 24 June 2016 02:01 (seven years ago) link

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

sorry, yes things will to a certain extent carry on as normal. despite y'know the business of government being tangled up in extracting ourselves for the next five years, with a free meal ticket for expensive consultants and trade expertise rinsing out the coffers.

Fizzles, Friday, 24 June 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link

If the pound collapses it won't carry on as normal. Caek? You know much more. I'm just going on a hunch.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 24 June 2016 02:05 (seven years ago) link

sorry, 'normal' was overly sanguine. i was responding and agreeing to a certain extent to thomp's 'things will work out'. We would be worse off in so many ways of course. not least the definition of a moral and political outlook. what lex said upthread.

feel bad for telling people they'd be better off buying their Euros tomorrow tbh

having this on in cnn in the reception is enlightening, i wonder if this is how it feels for the american employees hearing about trump all the time

the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Friday, 24 June 2016 02:10 (seven years ago) link

cnn, of course, brilliantly reacted to the jo cox murder with the question 'will MPs be able to continue working in their constituencies, or are the security risks now too high'

the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Friday, 24 June 2016 02:11 (seven years ago) link

No idea. They say the pound will go to 1.30 against the dollar (was 1.50 at close of play today). Economics is a stats problem to me. I dont actually understand how the economy works.

Cash married Bridget Mary (nรฉe Lee) at Wardour Castle Chapel in Wiltshire on 16 October 1965,[5] and they have two sons and a daughter. One of his sons is the controversial journalist William Cash, who lives at Upton Cressett Hall, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Along with his wife, Bill and Bridget Cash restored the now Grade I Upton Cressett Hall in the 1970s. The Hall was subsequently voted the 'Best Hidden Gem' heritage destination in the UK at the 2011 Hudson's Heritage awards.[6]

Bill Cash Jr. is married to society milliner, Lady Laura Cathcart, daughter of Charles Cathcart, 7th Earl Cathcart,[7] with whom he has a daughter, Cosima.[5]

according to the "About Bill" section of his website "He is a keen cricketer and swimmer and enjoys listening to jazz."

Hilary Benn fucking useless. Dimbo: "Was this referendum a mistake?"

There is only one answer to this as a Remain supporter. "Yes David, it was a massive mistake, and we will be paying for it for years to come."

Instead he said "Well, we didn't want it, but the Tories won the election and they wanted it so here we are" fuck off
