Nuts EU Referendum - How will you be voting?

I must be having one of those moments again.

I voted in.

One of the best quotes I've heard from the Brexit side was "Do we want Britain to be a home or a hotel?" which was by some journalist on Question Time a few weeks ago.

I do think it's very much a hotel at present and so I do understand completely why people feel pissed off to the point that they want to vote out. My sister was recently told that she hadn't been successful in getting my nephew into any of her first three choices of primary schools, which were all very local to her. Instead he was automatically given a place at some shithole in Deane (miles away), apparently one of the crappest primary schools Bolton has to offer. I'm all for multiculturalism and everything (my grandad came over here from Poland in the 40s) but there's no way that 10-20 years ago - before the massive influx of Hungarians, Romanians, Czechs, Poles, Lithuanians etc, this would have happened. So basically, we're all expected to celebrate this coming together as one, when clearly not everybody benefits from it equally.

The reason I voted in is, like most people, I just don't want to see us take the risk. I do think we now have to just take the good with the bad.

I love French bread with my breakfast so I am in

Interesting that the poll is now 16 votes each. Looks like we are as divided as the rest of the population.

Not many comments from Nat. Someone get over to Amsterdam and knock on her window.

Gibraltar votes IN massively (no surprise)

Currently 19,322 votes in to 823 out.

Pollsters way, way off re the Newcastle vote and that could be indicative of the mood of the country i.e. not as many Remain voters turned out as expected. 

Early days yet, but could we be on the verge of starting the process of leaving Europe? 

Stock Exchange will go mental tomorrow after the £ went sky high bonkers tonight when the strong predictions were for a comfy Remain win. Pension investments could get battered.

Now currently 161,744 for leave to 158,536 to remain.

Wow! 
As soon as the Sunderland result was announced the £ dropped off a cliff against the dollar in the foreign markets - so don't plan a holiday abroad anytime soon if we exit.

Some bloke in the financial markets is planning for a 40% hit on the economy if we're going.

Could be he's panicking but I may nip out to Tesco 24hr to stock up on tins and candles just in case......

Remain now in the lead with 190,601 to 170,749 for leave.

Final result: Britain votes to leave the EU

Some votes still to count but this will not change the result!

Well, we're out.

And the pound's immediately dropped to a 31 year low in the markets.

To anybody who voted Leave, don't you dare come back on here moaning in 12 months when inflation hits about 6% and you're paying 3 quid for a loaf of bread.

Because you caused this.

This is a decision we'll come to regret. I'm still taking it in at the moment.

We're a divided country. There are people at work who no longer speak to each other over this.

I've had a week off,but expect to return to a pretty poisonous atmosphere.

David Cameron is to blame for bringing this referendum to us all in that respect then.

What this result proves to me is just how fucking thick your average English voter is.

They generally can't be arsed dragging themselves away from Jeremy Kyle to go and vote in "normal" elections (as proven by their shock and surprise yesterday at being asked to use a pencil in the polling booth) but spin 'em a bit of fear-ridden xenophobic tripe about foreigners coming over here and "stealing our jobs" and they were all waddling off to the Polling Stations in family packs to go and exercise their prerogative in massive numbers.

As Boncey says, we've fucked up here massively and it's going to cost us dear.

I said this weeks ago:

Who do you think makes your bread and your tins of beans and your bottles of washing up liquid that you can buy cheaply in the supermarket?

EU migrant labour, that's who.

Because they are prepared to come to work for £7 an hour.

Nobby The Scrote won't. He's happy to sit at home all day watching his plasma telly and playing FIFA on his X-Box and anyway, he can't work because of his "condition", so he claims DLA instead.

British jobs haven't been lost because we suddenly got swamped by a load of Poles who came over here and displaced the indigenous workforce, we invited them over to plug a gap in the market.

So if they now get sent home, where does that leave us?

Nobby won't get off his arse unless you pay him more than he would get in benefits or you force him to go to work, so he'll be demanding about £12 an hour.

And that cost's got to be recovered somewhere, so what do you think that means?

Prices will shoot up as manufacturers desperately try and protect their margins (and businesses) and we all wind up paying more for our goods and services.

Or, if the government decides that we can't afford for that to happen, Nobby will be told his days of claiming free money in benefits are over and he'll be frogmarched into a job and made to do 40 hours a week for the first time in his life.

But Nobby will be angry and resentful, so he'll toss it off and performance levels in British factories will turn to shit overnight and guess what....?

That'll drive prices up too!

So well done to anybody who voted for this shit yesterday and a massive thank you from British Industry - You've just shat all over us with your narrow-minded, ill-informed decision making.

I hope you're happy when PM Boris is telling you how wonderful everything is and how much better off you are.

I just hope at that point, you look in your empty pockets and the penny drops and you finally realise that you've been had.

A great result. The Majority have decided the future of our great country.

I don't think we have 17 million Jeremy Kyle watching, unemployed people in the UK.

Why is it a great result?

Seriously?

Throw some facts at me.
