Erm marginal in Newcastle and Leave win in Sunderland...

 

[D4Danger]

more people got to vote and that's why we lost

bellend

 

[Wrestlemania]

Yeah, Farage, what a shame if remain won because more people were able to vote due to the registration deadline being extended. What an arsehole.

 

[brain_stew]

Only a marginal win in Newcastle is not good, getting very nervous now.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Farage is a right cunt isn't he.

He seems quite frankly fucked and like he's lost.

 

[SuperSah]

Farage gonna get smashed tonight

 

[Syder]

Dimbleby cutting off Farage's speech LOL

 

[danm999]

Was Newcastle expected to vote remain?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What was expected in Newcastle?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Feel bad for anyone tuning in not knowing those numbers only cover Gibraltar

 

[Zaph]

Farage trying to undermine the legitimacy of the vote by talking about the voter extension thing. He could have tried to be classy :/

hah

 

[CCS]

Not great early results. Bigger win being suggested for Leave in Sunderland and smaller win for Remain in Newcastle than projected.

 

[sammex]

Up the Toon!

 

[Lashley]

Why was Newcastle expected to vote remain? Nearly everyone up here I've heard was vote leave tbh

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Newcastle for remain.

 

[CelticKnight]

I think Newcastle was expected to vote remain, but I would've liked a bit more than a "marginal" win.

 

[FlammableD]

fuckfuckfuck none of that sounds good

 

[SuperSah]

A marginal remain?

Is that good or bad for remain?

 

[Hazzuh]

Marginal for Remain in Newcastle?

 

[milanbaros]

Wow. Newcastle result lengthening those remain odds.

Pound just collapsed.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

What was expected in Newcastle?

It's very mixed. Some hard nut old school leave campaigners but a strong uni presence.

 

[Mastadon]

Newcastle needed to be more than 58% for remain really.

 

[pulsemyne]

What was expected in Newcastle?

Not really as most of the NE was expected to be leave territory.

 

[Empty]

farage blaming voter registration deadline extension

referendum losing spin 101, laying groundwork for keeping on arguing for brexit referendum number 2. you can't deny the clear democratic mandate and so you instead try and claim people were cheated and lied out of a genuine result. see also the snp and their bitching about 'the vow'.

 

[avaya]

MargInal in Newcastle IS NOT GOOD. Was expecting 10%+

 

[teiresias]

This is quite a riot to watch as an American. I imagine our upcoming election between Cunt and Twat is going to be just as amusing for all you fine folks.

WTF?!?!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Farage worried that more people being allowed to register to vote may have cost him his Brexit.

What a cockbonce.

[EDIT - Well at least his UKIP MEP disagrees on that point.]

 

[Flintty]

How do ppl know the toon result already? Do I have a massive delay?

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Omg. Did he just blame allowing more voters as a reason for losing???????

It did sound like that!

 

[dealer-]

A marginal remain?

Is that good or bad for remain?

Said around 60% remain had been expected.

It's only legitimate if he wins.

 

[Real Hero]

Newcastle

 

[Roberto Larcos]

We're gone.

 

[CCS]

Okay, starting to panic a bit now.

 

[MassiveNights]

Turnouts in Sunderland and Newcastle are pretty bad...

 

[Brinbe]

Wow.

 

[SuperSah]

Said around 60% remain had been expected.

Why is this bad for remain?

 

[Beefy]

@angus_young61
Leave votes heavily outnumbering Remain votes in Hull so far, apparently. 4-1 in some East Hull wards #EURef

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I might need to stop watching for a few hours, this has me wayy too worried.

 

[avaya]

FULL ON FUCKING PANIC NOW.

WE ARE FUCKED.

 

[Philly40]

Fucking hell, Betfair just went to 7/2 leave - quite scary

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

 

[mrklaw]

Why would anyone panic? Whatever happens things will be fine.

If we leave it could be a real shit show. Might be fine, or we might have a massive drop in outside investment and years of political drift while we try and slowly negotiate trade deals with other countries.

We're fucked.

 

[dealer-]

Expected 60% but might only be marginal, so not as good.

 

[cirrhosis]

see yeh breh

 

[Uzzy]

Farage is terrible. If he had any commitment to his cause he'd have locked himself up in a box for the past few months and said nothing.

 

[Cub3h]

Newcastle was expected 60% for remain?! I would've thought the north-East would be one of the bigger leave areas in the UK.
