Support NeoGAF

[Brewster's Wallet]

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

Spoiler

lol status quo to resume by 5pm Friday

Yes apart from telling Gove, Farage and Boris to fuck off, the lying shit stirrers.

 

[IMBored]

For me the timing of this referendum is quite coincidental as I have a meeting today to see if I'm going to the UK working. It's a short term assignment (3-6 months) but arriving just after people voted out of the EU would be an awkward experience.

Feeling a bit calmer after seeing the news come in - the dream of living in a world where we're still in the EU and Trump doesn't get to be president seems a lot more realistic than it did a week ago.

 

[danowat]

He should stop pretending to like crisps for a start.

Also Corn snacks are a different beast.

I don't do crisps, but I do do Tortillas

Granted

How is that poll legal?

How is that poll legal?

It was taken before polls opened and as such can be published today (although I don't think any news channel can cover it)

 

[mclem]

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No, it's the pound fucking skyrocketing!

A little note from the Beeb about complacency:

...but it's probably not a bad sign, at least.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Yeah skips are still around so are Space Raiders (around Manchester anyway)

Pickled onion space raiders, damn brings back memories of wild times at uni, they were great to quench the munchies after some wacky baccy.... sigh.

 

[mehrmantrout]

I'm not expecting too much, most of the real crazies jumped ship to UKIP long ago. Them rejoining is probably worse in the long run.

Tomorrow also starts the next Tory party leadership race

On exit polls I'll see if my brother in-law will give me updates on his firms one, though he's usually sketchy on stuff like that

[Moozo]

Betfair just emailed me with 1/10 Remain and 6/1 Leave

 

[Juicy Bob]

It's awful. Skips are awful, Walkers P&C...ugh.

I'd rather eat Cheese and Onion than Prawn Cocktail and C&O is absolutely vile.

I ate so many packets of Sizzling King Prawn Real McCoy's crisps during my time at university that some of my friends feared I was chemically addicted.

 

[MrS]

Damn right, I buy them. Low calorie crisps!

You should try Pom-Bears. Truly a magnificent potato snack

 

[ExtremePopcorn]

Conservative-GAF or GAF with conservative family, how are you voting/they?

Pretty certain this vote will be won on how Conservative England sways.

I voted Conservative at the last election and I voted Remain. The same as all the other Conservative voters I know bar one.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

Skips

 

[Psychotext]

Currently in Spain but returning today to vote Remain.

Nice one.

I was hooked on Pom-Bears for a while, yummy.

Why? It won't be your fault. If anything it will be a good conversation starter.

No, it's the pound fucking skyrocketing!

My portfolio is also at a months high...
Good signs I guess.

 

[Ashes]

I thought you can't publish it on polling day during voting hours.

 

[Tenebrous]

Family of labour voters here. Majority voted to remain, but a few haven't. Really excited to see how this turns out, regardless of referendum results.

 

[HazySaiyan]

All this talk of Skips is making me want some.

Oh it's going to cause some trouble no doubt, it's a shame the head throbbingly EU obsessed have mostly left. Some will feel betrayed by Cameron but he held the referendum and won.

 

[Morat]

I'm getting 'JOIN US - The Dark Brotherhood, Elder Scrolls'

So UKIP then

 

[Cindres]

[SNIP]

Oh and this - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ive-latest-mi5-conspiracy-fears-a7097011.html

I came in to share this article, I can't believe it isn't satire:

Nearly a third of Ukip voters believe that MI5 are involved in a plot to rig the vote, according to a survey this week

 

[BossDarkseid]

+1

yeah used to eat pom-bears all the time as a child.

 

[JonathanEx]

Peter Kellner off of polls does some analysis. He's calling Remain to win by 8.5%, plus or minus 6.

Full blog is interesting:

My apologies if that is not precise enough for you. If you need a more exact forecast, I suggest you toss a coin or ask an astrologer.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Yeah same but then again i have some Bacon frazzles, they will do, yum.

 

[MrS]

textbook brexiter behaviour

 

[GazzaScotland]

Going to vote then get some Skips and Tangy Toms.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I was ashamed to find out that my fiancée's sister voted UKIP in the last GE for bullshit reasons. She's the only one in either of our extended families who did so and we didn't talk at all for months after an argument over that.

If it came down to a single vote I'm pretty sure it would be her fault – in my eyes at least. Voting Remain when my lady gets home later today.

 

[liquidtmd]

You're all insane, Scampi Fries fo lyfe

 

[danowat]

Chipstixs or Fish & Chips was were it was at when I was a nipper

 

[PJV3]

All this talk of Skips is making me want some.

For some reason that reminded me of Nik Naks, I don't even know if I liked them or not.

 

[jufonuk]

Betfair just emailed me with 1/10 Remain and 6/1 Leave

what does that mean? I am not a betting person.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

This has just turned into BritGaf now

 

[liquidtmd]

what does that mean? I am not a betting person.

No one is betting on Leave at the moment

 

[StopMakingSense]

what does that mean? I am not a betting person.

Pay 10 to get 1 for Remain, Pay 1 to get 6 for Leave.

 

[cabot]

that shade, textbook brexiter behaviour

 

[mere_immortal]

Who's shit talking prawn cocktail?! The McCoy's king prawn are amazing.

Also voted. Quiet ish but was mid-morning.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Going to vote then get some Skips and Tangy Toms.

Tangy Toms were the staple snack of choice from the vending machine at the local swimming pool after a fun splash session when I was a kid.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I could do with some Skips right about now.

Um what happens if there is a leave vote and then mps fail to ratify it? As they most surely will fail, because their bread is personally buttered on the stay side especially the Tories so abstains and so on will sink it.

What happens then?
Does the uk shrug and fire Cameron. That's it?

Next general election could be a UKIP landslide who if their MEPs are anything to go by will be happy to extract a salary from the public they serve but not happy when it comes to actually serving said public. The near empty house of commons will be playing the sandford and son theme a lot more as the leader of the opposition refuses to do prime minsters questions with no prime minister present.

Powerful video and food for thought, listen to this amazing old lady:

This kind of thing is exactly what remain should have been about. We've done all these great things and want to continue doing so instead of the if you leave your children will starve on the streets. But it would be difficult for Tories to admit their won failings...which is also why they don't counter why public services are under pressure (spending cuts do that).

 

[DiGiKerot]

This has just turned into BritGaf now

Not all of voters are BritGAF, but all of BritGAF are voters.

 

[IMBored]

Why? It won't be your fault. If anything it will be a good conversation starter.

"Hello there young chap, isn't it funny how you just voted for me not to be here"

Joking aside, I'm honestly worried that if leave wins it'll empower some people to act more aggressive towards emigrants, even before the exit is done.

 

[Ocarina_117]

A lovely fellow encouraging people to vote leave in our town centre informed my mother and myself, of Indian descent, he'd like his country back.

Will be voting remain, not as a result of this incident. Just don't trust the British government with free reign. Also as someone who will be working for the NHS in a few years time.

 

[MrS]

Also as someone who will be working for the NHS in a few years time.

There isn't going to be an NHS in a few years time.

Also, didn't the GE poll fuckups teach us anything about the reliability of exit polls?
