This is my first night I'm bothering to stay up. Whenabouts does it pick up the pace?

From 1-2 onwards, I believe.

 

[Mr Cola]

Scottish turnout down

 

[kavanf1]

Quit the bullshit salt comments, this is the path for people's lives for the next thirty years that is being decided tonight.

 

[Stallion Dan]

If I put in a pre-order on Play Asia, will I pay the now price or the tanked pound price, game releases in 3 weeks.

 

[Lego Boss]

Need to go to sleep - have a job interview in London tomorrow - although if we vote leave I wouldn't be surprised if it was postponed.

London won't exist in the morning.

 

[jm89]

Newcastle you dun goofed.

 

[nOoblet16]

Wow the GBP is crashing.

Yep, by about 2% in a matter of 2 mins.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

 

[spunodi]

There's an updated result for Newcastle with 1 more vote on Remain.

Every little helps!

 

[Silent Chief]

even if remain wins it will be so narrow as to destroy uk politics for years

That's what referendum do.

 

[Hixx]

The Sunderland result is not a surprise at all.

The Newcastle one is why I've become really quite worried. If Remain are to win it'll be unbelievably tight.

 

[Syder]

As much as I don't want Leave to win, seeing the salt in here would be amazing.

 

[Orbis]

Sunderland wasn't too far from what was expected to be honest. We need results from different regions really.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Are Remain posters here panicking too quickly?

 

[whyamihere]

@britainelects
Clackmannanshire, #EUref result:
Remain: 57.8% (14,691)
Leave: 42.2% (10,736)

Hmm.

EDIT: I guess that's expected from the YouGov margin.

 

[brain_stew]

Why are you surprised Sunderland voted leave? It's been a BNP and UKIP base for years, no?

It's the margin of the Leave victory that is the concern.

 

[neerg]

You ain't seen shit yet.

It's meaningless until the dust settles. Currency always fluctuates during these things.

 

[Audioboxer]

People can be angry or worried but I would say let's not get personal with each other tonight guys.

For maximum ball-sweat, set it to "1" in the top left

 

[Geminosity]

I am a labour voter and have been left leaning the majority of my life, I am middle class and my background is British and Greek Cypriot.

I lean towards leave, I am not xenophobic or racist or any other number of insults I have seen pitched around, this is half the problem, I also find it ironic that people claim that people who vote out are "uneducated" when surely making statements such as that are rather uneducated or at best naive don't you agree?

Not everyone voting out believes Farage is the second coming of a fictitious Christ or has a British bulldog tattoo on their bollocks and writes for the sun newspaper.

Some of us actually are very well educated and believe that the risk is worth taking because of the numerous issues with the EU that will never be remedied whilst we remain because if that was going to be the case it would have been done long ago.

Yup yup. don't know how well I'd consider myself 'educated' on the matter but I've done some digging about before coming to my decision and I have no issues with immigration. I was actually initially a remain voter even after watching a bunch of propoganda pieces from both sides. It was some debates and some people pointing out some worrying acts by the EU that changed my mind.

Your position is that the EU pillow police are curbing your freedom with their 109 regulations oh wait that's just a thing you heard that wasn't right and you never bothered to look into it, so maybe I'm not the one with the strawman problem.

Using a bad source that turns out to be wrong isn't a strawman, it's called being stupid. I was silly to use a propaganda film as a source and someone else pointed it out in a more useful way, which I thanked them for. None of that is strawmanning :/
Just throwing this out there, but if you want to convince someone they're wrong, it pays not to be condescending or insulting, that's just a good way of making someone ignore you, much like I have been doing up until now. Then again, I'm sure you don't need a lecture from me on how to debate with someone, right?

 

[CheDominik]

Another panic call by my boss:

If Brexit happens we will lose about 30% of our income and might have to lay off people.
Fuck that. The bookies are almost never wrong, I still trust them.

 

[Moosichu]

And that the eu spends money there.

It really reminds me of "A Song of Ice and Fire", when the public hate Tryion because they think he's corrupting Joffrey.

 

[axisofweevils]

Going to bed now. Who knows what it will look like when I wake up.

 

[CorrisD]

The BBC's "page updates automatically" isn't updating automatically, most disappointing thing so far tonight.

 

[Zakalwe]

People voting inSunderland thought they were actually voting to LEAVE Sunderland.

Ha, that's good.

 

[gutter_trash]

guys relax, the larger cities always finish counting last

 

[Jezbollah]

It's almost like a net worth chart when Arteezy drops a Rapier.

 

[MrS]

It's kind of sad how one can guess results like that just based on a region's financial status..especially considering leaving will probably not going to help them.

But being part of the EU hasn't helped them either so why not try something different?

 

[milanbaros]

It's meaningless until the dust settles. Currency always fluctuates during these things.

Exactly. Remain are in control. Don't understand the panic.

 

[Silphonica]

these images mean nothing to me someone please explain

 

[Heckler456]

How many hours until we've got a solid enough result?

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Every little helps!

They're already at work on those ballots then. Should have used pens.

 

[Kyoufu]

Ugh. This is awful. For two years in a row the Brits cannot be trusted.

 

[Gandie]

Quit the bullshit salt comments, this is the path for people's lives for the next thirty years that is being decided tonight.

This decides the entire direction our continent is heading in. We learned nothing from all the loss of life in both world wars.

 

[D4Danger]

these images mean nothing to me someone please explain

our money is worthless

 

[Silent Chief]

The knife in the back scenario is Scotland vote Leave to get the UK out of the EU than separate from the UK in the next referendum so they can rejoin the EU.

 

[nOoblet16]

It's the margin of the Leave victory that is the concern.

It was predicted to be 60%...turns out 61%. The voter turnout was lower than expected though.

 

[KingBroly]

these images mean nothing to me someone please explain

That's the value of their currency over the last few hours.

 

[Quonny]

Going to bed now. Who knows what it will look like when I wake up.

Sneak preview:

 

[kavanf1]

So, watching from the US, but is the assumption that if Leave wins, Scotland will hold another independence referendum?

No, the two are entirely separate. What is likely is if Scotland votes to remain and the UK as a whole votes to leave, the SNP will use this as a basis to say another referendum should be called.

 

[Moosichu]

The odds on the bookies are shortening though :/

 

[Aranath]

Jesus, it's really taking a hammering.

 

[Broken Joystick]

 

[Joel Was Right]

If I put in a pre-order on Play Asia, will I pay the now price or the tanked pound price, game releases in 3 weeks.

oh my god

 

[Silphonica]

our money is worthless

for what a couple of hours based on changing results?

 

[blastprocessor]

FTSE index futures was pricing in a Win that sunderland result hit the index.

 

[Anth1888]

The knife in the back scenario is Scotland vote Leave to get the UK out of the EU than separate from the UK in the next referendum so they can rejoin the EU.

It's the opposite. SNP need a strong Remain vote to give a mandate

 

[Uzzy]

Going to bed now. Who knows what it will look like when I wake up.

You've seen Threads right?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

People cheering the fact their currency will tank like a stone in the morning.

I booked £500 worth of currency (that I can cancel within 28 days without a fee) about five minutes before the Sunderland declaration.

Phew!
