Don't worry Livercool will remain

 

[Acorn]

Such compassion and kindness towards the working class from the Remain camp. Who could imagine why they might vote the other way?

Fans of fucking themselves so it's only fair we give them a hand.

 

[bounchfx]

Leave is winning by about 24k votes, but only 12 out of 382 results have been declared.

which makes those seeming to know what the result will be even funnier. It's gonna be a close call it seems like, but no reason for anyone to 'give up hope' for one way or the other quite yet. lets give it a few hours at least, jeez

 

[Lashley]

Tyneside was a big leave tbh

Yep, was never going to be anything more

Wait if you're working class you have to look like a orc? karl pilkington was right I guess.

 

[Gandalf]

what kind of turnout/numbers could we expect from London and bigger cities like it? Millions?

Lower than expected for some boroughs in London, due to unexpected bad weather/flooding in some areas.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Most of the areas voting strongly for leave don't have significant immigrant populations.

It's funny how many people around my area moan about immigrants, yet there's barely any here.

 

[Meadows]

This is awful

 

[Syder]

what kind of turnout/numbers could we expect from London and bigger cities like it? Millions?

I believe so.

 

[SuperSah]

Comments that Yorkshire has outed by a 'country mile'.

If so, this is a severe threat to the Remain camp.

 

[MrS]

I'd rather you get a sense of humour.

That was an attempt at humour?

 

[RK9039]

Why is Lindsay Lohan tweeting about this? lol

Didn't she move to the UK? probably tweeted due to all the hype and shit.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I'd rather you get a sense of humour.

Weren't you the guy being upset about the word ''salt'' just a few pages back?

I don't have a strong opinion on this vote but I am pretty pro-EU despite being very anti Euro. UK got a better hand dealt than they realize.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Compared to Farrage, Hunt, Boris, Cameron and some others I can take Salmond being called a dickhead. The others are just evil.

The problem is they are all Westminster asshole's. Salmond strikes a contrast with modern Scottish leaders like Sturgeon, Dugdale and Davidson.

 

[2700]

London will declare as individual boroughs but in total it will be in the millions. Birmingham is the biggest individual declaration of tonight and Manchester is also a big one to look out for.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Fellow UOW graduate, Eastleigh is an okay place but I can see them voting leave.

Yeah same to be honest.

 

[Audioboxer]

Thats the trouble our voting system is terrible... Conservatives only got 26% odd of the vote yet got a majority government its flawed and not democratic at all

That is true. I just wish the English could nuke the Conservatives completely until they sort their shit out.

 

[Camoxide]

Oh dear. Is this actually happening...

It was expected The whole of the north specially the north east are heavily leave. It's the part of england that has gone to shit the most.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Holy fuck, the odds are crashing on leave

Tak3n! Welcome to the party!

 

[Cromwell]

Such compassion and kindness towards the working class from the Remain camp. Who could imagine why they might vote the other way?

"I can't take a joke so I'm going to destroy my own country"

 

[Hazzuh]

Interesting that this is the most discussion I've heard about the actual mechanics of what leaving would actually mean for the whole campaign.

 

[Makabe]

Fellow UOW graduate, Eastleigh is an okay place but I can see them voting leave.

Also same, a lot of pensioners there.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Can someone ELI 5 what are the negatives for leaving over staying with the EU.

 

[User1608]

Same here.

Leading up to this, I was under the impression Remain would smash Leave to pieces. I like to think myself better than the ignorant American stereotype, but clearly I didn't do enough research into this topic. I hope your future is a bright one, UK-GAF.

Oh yeah, I'm still trying to catch up on this mess but reading about it, in my opinion it's a shame it's come to this. Of course, the citizens will decide their fate, and so as I said earlier, I wish nothing but the best for the UK and its people.

 

[TheRealTalker]

In a business sense leave is silly... In a humanity unity sense this sounds silly.

In a Historian sense, chaos of political stability, and the butter fly ripple effect analysis this is a career changing moment of excitement.

Basically if your a political scientist you win either way and if your a anti Hero then this is a reason to a better end.


gotta write them books

anything less than 70% leave and I would be surprised.

 

[Syder]

Thats the trouble our voting system is terrible... Conservatives only got 26% odd of the vote yet got a majority government its flawed and not democratic at all

We fucked up our chances of changing that.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Salmond is awesome, just for how much the English pundits hate him with a passion.

He's a really slimy politician. But he's a really good slimy politician.

Honestly he's a master at interviews and always comes across well, but I'm Scottish and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He is really entertaining though.

 

[pigeon]

Well at least nobody will be able to say the UK is no longer relevant to world affairs!

 

[Madness]

Oh dear. Is this actually happening...

Yup. Just like the election, pollsters again wrong. Look how off the mark they were with Sunderland. Looks like Leave will actually win when all is said and done now.

 

[Hasney]

It's total posturing. He was in Leeds, Leeds itself will likely be remain, but depends on the turnout.

People are talking on 13/382 declared right now. Take it easy.

 

[Audioboxer]

Yeah but his beliefs on policy aren't actually evil like the others. He's a smug asshole but sometimes kind of funny especially when he destroys Cameron.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Weren't you the guy being upset about the word ''salt'' just a few pages back?

Calling people salty because they might have their livelihoods fucked up is on the same level as making a joke about a gif someone made? He made a gif showing a Leave supporter as a fucking Orc. An orc. You can't dangle that out and not expect someone to take the piss.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

What do they see in their daily lives? People who don't look like them or speak the same language?

That's bad?

I grew up in an area where everyone essentially looked like me, and THAT is a problem. The xenophobes and bigots aren't fooling anyone.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Such compassion and kindness towards the working class from the Remain camp. Who could imagine why they might vote the other way?

How much compassion and kindness can you show toward a group that consistently votes against their own best interests and in doing so makes life harder for everyone else?

 

[Madchad]

Sky saying Leave has won a part of NI but the country is announced as a whole 2 announced 1 remain 1 leave out of 18

 

[Stallion Dan]

That would fall under "spite"

Created by Remain! Well done.

 

[Abraxas]

Salmond going HAM

 

[E-phonk]

So is this London v the rest of the country?

In two years the UK can hold a referendum if they want independence from that failed bureaucracy of London

 

[SuperSah]

Dundee remain

still behind Leave

 

[nOoblet16]

Don't worry Livercool will remain

I fully expect us to vote remain.

 

[Zakalwe]

This is true the same way that people who are against same-sex marriage or racial integration or the people who whooped and hollared at Enoch Powell 40 years ago are all responding to very real anxiety about the changing world. The classic divide between urban-rural or cosmopolitan-provincial. I agree that it's impossible to discard the role fear plays in governing these peoples' daily existence, but the response to that is not to mollycoddle the fearful at the expense of whatever outgroup is currently being scapegoated as they lead their daily life. It's all well and good to say "What about the men who suddenly sees women in a full veil", but he's suffering a far lesser offence than the woman wearing the veil who gets leered at, yelled at, or worse--used as an example of the evil forces conspiring to destroy the nation. The specifics of integration issues vary across time and space, but the core is the same: I would absolutely always want to take the side of kindness and fraternity than the side of fearfulness and bunkering. it's the same in every country. In America it's worries about taquerias and fruit guys speaking spanish and playing footie, in England it's people named Muhammed. I know of course that these people are not cartoonish racist fascists, they're simply isolated and fearful of a changing world.

The government can be blamed for its failure to provide for the economic prosperity and quality of life of the working poor, of course, but not for ignoring the racist calls to Make England English Again. Even if it causes tension and anxiety in the mean time, we need to encourage a spirit of cosmopolitan brotherhood.

I mean, the language stuff is a perfect point. Yes, there are many people who get anxious and angry when they hear people speaking non-English languages. And? A man walking down the road should be able to speak English. Or French. Or Spanish. Or Farsi. Or !Kung! Or even terrorist languages like Arabic or Mohammed. Stripping their dignity by saying they are somehow less human--or less a part of England--or less in any way because of that difference is giving into fear.

I think your post is telling because it dispenses with the pseudo-economic arguments and makes this what it really is: a referendum about how comfortable one is with the strange and foreign ways the country is changing. Glad we're no longer pretending.

Perfectly put, Stump. Thank you.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Yeah same to be honest.

Winchester should be fun though, healthy mix of students and AB/C1 social class should give Remain a strong lead.

Not surprised, Yorkshire would probably vote for Lancashire to be booted out the UK.

 

[Fergie]

Dundee City, #EUref result:
Remain: 59.8% (39,688)
Leave: 40.2% (26,697)

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Worcester people. Giz a pint. Gasping over here

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Thank fuck, Dundee 60% remain. I did my part. Glad the rest of these fuckers used their brains.

 

[CharmingCharlie]

Can someone ELI 5 what are the negatives for leaving over staying with the EU.

According to our Prime Minister it could lead to world war 3 (I really wish I was making that up).
