Sensible people come from East Dunbartonshire.

Thank You

Dear UK.

You know how you feel about us maybe electing Donald Trump? That's how we feel about you maybe leaving the EU.

Regards,
America

This

fucking absolutely insane it's even this close

You know how we feel about a country that has Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as Presidential candidates?

Clinton is liked in the U.K.

Turnout for the City of London was 73.58 per cent, returning officer Charlie Parker has said.

Only 73? Lazy.

 

[whyamihere]

Could change right enough, just the picture so far.

No, I get it, just saying that's right in line with what you'd expect.

 

[Brazil]

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

"Hilarious" is one word for it...

 

[Par Score]

So the polls swung towards remain after the Nazi-esque Farage poster and the tragic murder of Jo Cox.

The chilling possibility is that there was no genuine late swing, but rather that Leave voters went into "shy Tory" mode for the last week.

Fuck.

 

[Purkake4]

That's...not how business works? The clients will go asap. You can't replace them instantly, and it will be much harder to replace them because we aren't in the EU.

Several people have posted that a leave result means they lose their jobs in this thread, including myself, so I don't think people should be trying to explain how they are wrong on these things.

Didn't say people are wrong. Just that it won't be "Britain leaves the EU next monday", it'll be a step-by-step process over a longer period of time. Obviously businesses well do whatever they do, that is to be expected.

Christ.. this is gunna be a long night. Time for a cuppa with my imported PG Tips

 

[Havel]

London, if you win it for Remain, I will take back all the shit I said about you.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This Sky News coverage is terrible, they keep cutting away to people announcing procedural nonsense and then saying sorry.

Dear America,

Help

P.s help help oh God

Regards, remnants of UK

 

[Silent Chief]

Yup, and if the difference is zero votes it'll be declared a draw.

What about recounts and rejected ballots?

 

[jem0208]

This

fucking absolutely insane it's even this close

Far too many people are absolute idiots in the UK...

 

[SymbiantXenos]

How's the Fiancé holding up?

Shes asleep lol. She wouldn't even care too much if remain won tbf

 

[Psychotext]

Why the fuck didn't I move my savings into another currency?

London, if you win it for Remain, I will take back all the shit I said about you.

Yup.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Great god, that is not happening

 

[fenners]

A "post-truth kind of campaign". Wow.

As an ex-pat this doesn't affect me immediately, but the long term impact likely sucks for me if the UK gets more insular.

 

[tomtom94]

I think that most shy Tories will do what their PM tells them to do..

It depends on if they're shy Tories because they're worried what people think though. There's been a lot of snide attacks on Leave voters rather than Leave arguments, similar thing happened in the GE.

 

[Cromat]

My God this is crazy. Don't leave you bastards.

 

[Flintty]

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

That's some nasty shit right there.

But it's ok as long as the wealthy remain so huh.

 

[2700]

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

I don't know how a situation where the poorest people in our society becoming even poorer can be described as hilarious.

A leave vote will be a disaster for the underclass and working class in this country.

 

[pigeon]

You know how we feel about a country that has Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as Presidential candidates?

We're really more of a federal union than a country. Look into it <3

BBC is the only game in town.

[Brazil]

Pound sterling about to get Real'd. Goddamn.

 

[gngf123]

Wish I had some whisky right about now.

 

[Funky Papa]

This is our time to take back Gibraltar.

Brb, phoning my cousins in.

 

[Moosichu]

Why the fuck didn't I move my savings into another currency?

My savings of £70!

(Seriously though, I hope my parent's savings are ok as I'm depending on them for at least another year.)

 

[EdibleExplosives]

London, if you win it for Remain, I will take back all the shit I said about you.

Ditto. Never been much of a fan of London, but I'll gladly lick its arse if it guarantees a Remain win.

 

[SuperSah]

BBC dude saying Leave is a possibility and he is very right.

 

[Silent Chief]

I have to go for a walk. Hopefully you're still all here when I come back.

 

[Kyari]

Just sitting watching BBC News like:

 

[Purkake4]

Forget the damage the germany and france would do to the UK. You're forgetting asian multinational companies who would take their investments and jobs elsewhere.


I cannot believe people would be sabotaging themselves in this country

Well, the raking is as a warning for any future leavers.

 

[Acorn]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Is free movement still good in the two years?

 

[Lego Boss]

Fucking Coleshill?

I thought they were enlightened Birmingham financiers!

 

[nOoblet16]

London save us all !

 

[Audioboxer]

Wish I had some whisky right about now.

I actually feel worried for the English. At least us Scots have a backup plan if the UK bails.

 

[Flintty]

Shes asleep lol. She wouldn't even care too much if remain won tbf

Hehe fair enough. I'm expecting Remain to win and I'll be a bit disappointed but meh, life goes on. I just want it over with now.

 

[liquidtmd]

Holy fuck at some of the BBC claims right now

 

[Phased]

Dear America,

Help

P.s help help oh God

Regards, remnants of UK

It's weird watching this from the perspective of an outsider (I'm a U.S citizen)

A lot of the arguments the "Leave" people are making are eerily similar to the tones Trump is making when he talks about building a wall. His support also comes from mostly our Rural uneducated areas.

 

[kavanf1]

That's some nasty shit right there.

But it's ok as long as the wealthy remain so huh.

He's not wrong though, these are exactly the people who would be hit hardest. It's not about being smug (it certainly would not be hilarious), it's just reality.

 

[neerg]

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

What!? No, no it wouldn't. Jesus.

 

[CitizenVectron]

My savings of £70!

(Seriously though, I hope my parent's savings are ok as I'm depending on them for at least another year.)

Well as long as your are buying things in the UK you should be fine. The issue is imported items which will increase in price, of course.

 

[Beefy]

It will be hilarious if our economy tanks and these low paid workers who voted leave get punished the most.

Really? Yes hilarious that poor people will suffer. Very funny indeed....

[Kathian]

Do we still have Gordon Browns Euros or did we sell those? Could be handy.

 

[Meadows]

We've fucked the world economy haven't we.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I have to go for a walk. Hopefully you're still all here when I come back.

You'll probably be back before people start jumping off of the nearest building.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Dreading seeing my town's (Burnley) results come in.

Can see it being like 80% leave.

Though I'm just going off Facebook and what I've seen around town.

I'm Blackburn and we'll be the same, my entire Facebook is full of people going mad about pencils and immigrants

 

[SephiZack]

Coleshill is rumored to be stronger Leave than expectations

Hartlepool was also expected to vote for Leave, but now it looks like it could be as high as 70%
