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

step away from the desk and it goes to leave 52% ffs

jonathan rees-mogg saying that the rulers of this country have got out of touch

I'm feeling sympathetic panic over here in Australia (though still hundreds of km from Fizzles). All these right-wing scumbags have spent years quietly grabbing the xenophobic racist vote and now it's all coming down around their ears (see Republicans/Trump, Tories/UKIP/Brexit). Unfortunately all the good people have to keep living in those countries too. And Australia's got an election in one week, where the right-wing party who locks up children in offshore torture camps to be sexually abused is about to win again. World is fukt.

so should I buy a lot of stuff from boomkat tomorrow or are you guys going to tank the pound a little more later in the week

Ashamed to say I was thinking the same thing except about the Book Depository

rly looking forward to rees-mogg style populism to come.

leave pushing half a million lead now

Birmingham next 10 mins according to the Guardian

i'm going to bed after that

I hate stupid cunt British politicians and braindead selfish racist British people /nuance

so fucking depressing. jesus.

Although they were expecting Sandwell an hour ago and that's not come through yet.

farage calls this "a victory for real people, for ordinary people, for decent people"

Is there a woman in the Farage crowd.

It's mad an MP got assassinated as part of this shit and yet I can see Nigel Farage live on tv

'done it without having to fire any bullets' or words to that effect - WTF??

sorry, 'we did it without a single bullet being fired'

just saw that. jesus fucking christ.

that "real decent people" thing makes me physically incapable with rage.

so what are the scenarios for Remain to win now?

"real decent people"

months of his braying face saying this over and over and over, arggh

so what are the scenarios for Remain to win now?

Change the pencil votes on ballot papers?

so what are the scenarios for Remain to win now?

i don't know, but still a large chunk of london to come + manchester + birmingham + brighton + a few more cities besides

what's expected of northern ireland?

Manchester a while back. 60%

Remain now needs 52% of all remaning votes; most of them are rural England

dang

jesus. for some reason i was under the impression that "leave" was kind of a longshot. not so much because of polling, but because it's so fucking stupid

Leave winning by 630 000 votes, jesus fuckin christ.

really hope the little boris and dave on the guardian widget will grow more animated or despairing as the night goes on

has Morrissey said anything yet?

is he a ukip bro?

Farage says he and his supporters had taken back control of the country “without a shot being fired”. Spectacularly nasty and ill-chosen words, what with the shots being fired and all.

xp yes

Think they were pretty carefully chosen xp

maybe they were metaphorical bullets that farage was talking about, but even in that case what the fuck exactly was he referring to?

With the high turnout, we can't say people didn't really want it or it was just the cranky extremists that voted. I wasn't convinced at the start of the night remain would win and had a sinking feeling with the rush of registrations right after the Cameron / Farage debate. Farage himself thought it was pro-remain people signing up to oppose him but I think you'll probably have millions of people who don't usually vote doing so for the first time and doing so to vote leave. I think 55 / 45 is probably best case scenario at this point.

This is a disaster for the UK but I think the economic and political fallout will probably be so rapid it might undermine anti-EU movements across the rest of the continent.

yeah, metaphorical bullets doesn't mean anything. it was nonsensical and therefore intentionally or unintentionally offensive and malicious. both are equally bad.

xp

the EU have to punish the UK to discourage the break up of the EU, to add to any economic and political fallout just from the result itself.

so aside from insulting the memory of the assassinated MP, the implication of farage's remarks is that if 'remain' had one (or still wins) that the recourse would have been armed insurrection?

This is a disaster for the UK but I think the economic and political fallout will probably be so rapid it might undermine anti-EU movements across the rest of the continent.
