Tomorrow morning. Unless the results are a massacre one way and then it would be early hours of the morning.
get ready for 'we never had the option of leaving really' if remain win
That's the telegraph for you. Like a more upmarket Daily Mail half the time.

I can't wait to refer to myself as part of "The Forty-x" for the next few weeks!

That's pretty backwards.
Cheers for the info, though.
Sort of, but also not. While I agree with John Oliver and though it was good, if there weren't those rules, Sky News could go full-Fox, or a channel could play that bullshit Brexit the movie.
It's awkward when entertainment is involved rather than straight news, but I sort of believe it's for the best.

Polling station was the busiest I've seen it. I expect the turnout will be pretty high. Voted to remain.
Yeah, I know it's the Torygraph, but this seems low even for them.

Damn, that movie was so hilariously misleading, it was like a comedy.

I'm actually surprised at The Telegraphs stance.
Thought they'd be Pro-EU
All though the campaign they've been beating the drum for Leave.
Quietened down last few days though

The telegraph is not what it was. It's the Daily Mail with a prettier header now and larger pages. I used to read it avidly, but nowadays it's trash.

Wow, that's amazing.
Perfect!
It is, sadly.
Yeah, Cameron either didn't care or miscalculated how much impetus this whole thing is giving to the far far right.

Another hour and another update. In the past hour the markets have all moved towards a remain win, again. The markets at 1120 are:
FTSE100 - 6,364 (up 1.6%)
£ - USD 1.489
Betfair - 1.16 (86% remain) I believe this is the highest probability it has ever been.
That's Sheila Hancock, so my overwhelming opinion is based solely on whether she manages to express the argument without hesitation, repetition or deviation.

Campaigning that close to a polling station is illegal no?
I have moved from very cautious optimism to cautious optimism.
Local polling station.
they're desperate!
Trying to remember the exact rules about canvassing outside polling stations. I think there's a max distance requirement?
Edit: Tellers (which I would guess this person counts as) is permitted to wear a campaign rosette or badge. I don't think that counts as a badge.
Don't know about the referendum, but during the London mayoral elections I had to take of my Vote Labour rosette when we came to pick up numbers from the polling station.

The 10 best euro myths.
Of Course Boris appears bullshitting about crisps.

I have a similar feeling, though in my case it's voting for a party with a 0% chance of actually winning.
The main reason I voted last time was to make the Tory/UKIP/BNP's share of the vote appear 0.002% smaller. Tories won by over 8,000 votes as usual, though I can justabout claim that the majority of people didn't vote Tory, since he only got 48% of the vote.
Yeah, I suppose... I think it's just the double-standards that annoy me. We stop Sky News from going all Fox, but we don't stop The Daily Mail from doing the same thing? The medium is different, but the intent to deceive and inflame is still there. And you can argue that the front-pages of papers have an easier time in convincing people of a certain view against a TV program where you actually have to make a concerted effort to watch/listen.
I considered it a bit, I see the sun on northern sky every night as it is the polar day. So actually the sun isn't rising, it's midnight.
I still have issues with how small the earth is.

I've seen ones for both campaigns this morning.
Quite. I'd say the decline started when Max Hastings left the paper.

I've had almost entirely Conservatives for Remain ads on FB, and Vote Leave ads on Twitter.
As a lefty remain voter, I think their metrics are off.

Prawn Cocktail is legitimately a disgusting flavour.
Salt and malt vinegar is where it's at.

The Conservatives use of FB advertising at the general election last year was considered to be way ahead of the other parties, and very very targeted.
As a Remain voter, I bitterly hope the tone of a Remain victory is humble and the establishment learns something from a lot of the Leave arguments and DOES something about it otherwise we will just be deferring this problem for another day
lol status quo to resume by 5pm Friday
