20 seconds? that's so long it's just awkward.
On mine too, probably just a UK thing lol.
To HB or not to HB, that is the question.
For the 2020 general election? Maybe
You'd be better off riding on the back of a pig.

Turnout in Scotland heading for 70 to 80% according to chief reporting officer, wow.
True. I'd take a rail replacement bus service at this point.
Frustrating as the company sent people hold early to avoid the disruption and be able to vote... But had had very little benefit. Just sitting at Crawley for hours and hours.

It's high for us for something outside of the Scottish referendum. For that they were wheeling old folks out of care homes and everything. London did not want to lose us, that is for sure lol.
The salt is going to be amazing if the leave campaign have to fall back on blaming Scotland lol. We will be having none of that banter.
For this I'm United with my English remain bros. I'm neutral on those voting leave who have genuinely done research and believe it is best and smh on the crazies. England has too many crazies right now.

I wish this wasn't so true.Remain bros assemble cause we know England will fuck it up as they always do
Voted Remain, same for the Wife.
Seem to be a steady flow of people in and out, people leaving when the wife and I walked in and people coming in as we were leaving.
Politics is always a fun conversation in work, there's a noticeable difference of opinion for older voters. Pretty much everyone I asked who was under 35 said they were going to vote remain, most over that age were the opposite. One guy who I've had many break times with over the last year told me he was voting out because we don't know if it will be bad for us if we don't. Like, that was his whole argument, we don't know what will happen, boggles my mind.

I pledge to love England until the next Scottish referendum if I'm alive from it... Then cya later suckers! More so if the Conservatives with idiot leaders are still in charge.
Would warm up to stifling my pro independence thoughts for a while if I got to see someone like Corbyn in charge.
Boris or Osborne as the next PM? Sorry England get me outta this relationship.

It makes some sort of sense to me.
First, before we entered the EEC our farmers were significantly insulated from external competition by tariff barriers and in some cases central buying. Replacing that with EU subsidies is a poor substitute for fiercely independent people - nobody wants to be seen to be "on benefits".
Second, there's the overseas competition itself. A friend of mine is a farm labourer on a tiny farm in the Home Counties, and he has to know a lot about the weather across the EU so he can get his crops to market at the right time before they are swamped with imported stuff. It adds another layer of complexity to everything.
Third, rural communities are often very suspicious of outsiders. That includes, for example, Londoners buying up cottages as weekend retreats. When you're talking immigration it isn't just foreigners that count - it is every outsider, and the two form part of the same category.
Fourth, such immigration as there is is very very noticeable. On one occasion I remember hearing of from a local - about 20 years ago six illegal immigrants had been dumped at a bus stop in the small hours of a winter morning in a Cotswold village. In a city you wouldn't even notice - in the country it is still a topic of conversation 20 years on for 20 miles around.
Fifth, all Conservative
Early in my programming career I was subjected to a dreadful American video course in COBOL in which the line "Gee, I guess I missed a period" caused some uproar. The young lady meant, of course, that she had omitted a full stop.

Main media outlets, especially TV stations aren't allowed to cover, report or influence during the hours of voting. From 10pm UK time you can follow the results.
You glorious bastards.

BBC and Sky News will have streams from 10pm British time when the polls close - the media don't really discuss elections while polls are open because of electoral law.
