European Union Referendum

[Stevencc]

If Johnny carries on like this for much longer there is a genuine danger that he will be made a mod.

If you hate our kids so much why not fook off to Poland ?

I don't hate our kids at all. But like many teachers since Gove got his hands on the education job I no longer see my teaching future in the UK. Probably not Poland though, Germany maybe.

 

[Blitzballer]

anyone know when the result will be announced ?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Overnight as the counting is done, they reckon the final result will be up around 'breakfast time'.

 

[Luke Imp]

We won't get a decent idea until 1am/2am will we?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

1/2am I'd say the first results will be coming, but we won't be seeing major moves until about 4-5am I wouldn't say.

 

[Madejski]

They hope for the results to start coming in soon after midnight, with the majority done by 5am.

So around 3-4am there should be a good idea of where it's heading.

 

[T.A]

I understand this is a very emotive subject for everyone and we are all eager on the result but there is no excuse for some of the language on here tonight. Hard to imagine some of you are fully grown adults ..

Thread is now re-opened. Play nice please or it will be locked until after the result is announced.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Yay for T.A.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It's almost certainly going to be a Remain victory at this point. I wouldn't wait up for it.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Going by the odds and markets that have changed ever stronger for Remain in recent hours and minutes, I don't think there is much doubt as to the result now, unless something has gone seriously cuckoo.

The question will be the margin, that won't be fully counted and known until well into the morning I imagine.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I'd love to stay up for this, I find it fascinating. Need to sleep though.

Hope I wake up to a remain!

 

[StagsForLife]

Looks like remain will win, Newcastle wanting to be the first to give results at 11:30, by about 2 we should have a fair few. Probably won't get a real indication until about 4am.

 

[slaphead]

One of the advantages of being on nights, get to watch knob-jockeys like IDS waffling shit for hours.

In the last hour Nigel Farage has conceded, un-conceded and re-conceded.

concede (late 15th century: from French concéder or Latin concedere, from con- ‘completely’ + cedere ‘yield’.)

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Why would you be a UKIP member and vote remain? That genuinely baffles me.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Why would you be a UKIP member and vote remain? That genuinely baffles me.

UKIP is seen as a protest vote. I think a lot of people will have voted Leave as a protest against "the establishment" too.

Some orthodox UKIPers believe that only God can deliver Britain from Europe.

I do wonder how they are so sure, though, considering there are no exit polls and the YouGov stuff is often wrong (as we saw last year...)

Because you're a Libertarian.

[Pliny Harris]

Enjoyed the Conservatives' totally spontaneous outpouring of unity.

 

[Laker]

"Lol" at Gibraltar's 96% vote to remain.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I say we give the bastards back to Spain.

 

[blade1889]

Newcastle very close is interesting. ~18% closer than expected

 

[JJH]

Sunderland vote far more convincing for leave than expected. Interesting.
