Eh? Leave were winning right from the second result declared. As soon as newcastle went 50/50 we knew it was a leave win.

Nobody claimed any rigging, except the blatant Jo Cox stuff.

Project fear did win the day. I'll admit BOTH campaigns were run through fear... Remain preying on economic fears and Brexit going for the more basic "scary immigrants" angle. People are more scared of funny accents, it turns out.

That was mentioned last night before the results even started coming in, you are right.

It was all a bit awkward

That is really very sad to read Cherie.

Do you have a link to that?

So does Farage resign now?

Nigel Farage has admitted that it was a "mistake" to promise that £350million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote.

And totally justified as this isn't some BB eviction that didn't go my way, this has actually effected me personally, and other people that are in my situation, but of course don't care about that as it's all about Immigration and some delusion that these people care about the NHS.

Not here for dull seaside towns when Ibiza is only a flight away

Rob! 24-06-2016 05:01 PM

Disappointed isn't even the word. One of the top searches on Google today is "what is the EU?" That's people trying to actually find out what they've voted for.
This country is absolutly ****ed now. Absolute morons made this happen.

Another popular search today is 'moving to scotland' :laugh:

A fair few people I know have researched slightly AFTER placing their vote :facepalm:

Liberty4eva 24-06-2016 05:12 PM

I am delighted but realize not everyone is happy. Don't ask me how, but I found this leaked footage from Brussels which shows how the EU is reacting to the vote...

Deadly serious.

People voted this because they saw it as a way of getting rid of the migrants and immigrants and possibly as a way forward for the NHS. Neither of this things are going to happen. They had absolutly no clue what they were voting for.

Raph 24-06-2016 05:15 PM

Very disappointed.

Proof that democracy isn't always the best solution. The saddest part is that it's mainly the low income uneducated people who voted to leave, and those are the people who are going to suffer the most as a result of it.

I work in the corporate world in London and could transfer to New York anytime so I'm not so worried about myself but this is a terrible and scary outcome for the future of Britain's economy.

The vote was entirely facilitated by nationalist populism and false fear and that's very sad to me.

Nicola Sturgeon suggested in interview earlier that Sadiq Khan had alluded to it when they were in talks

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 24-06-2016 05:22 PM

Some of the leavers I've seen sound so dumb. One undecided said she just had a last minute "comeon England" . One man who can barely speak English said he voted to leave to stop immigration. His wife was British so it's alright. And this woman from buzz feed who wishes she could now vote remain because her and family didn't realise that things such as Cameron leaving and what's already happening would actually be happening.

Don't care either way but I think this is a good thing in the long run.

Also David Cameron is out so can't complain!

And your situation is the only one that matters, right?

You basically said people of a certain age shouldn't vote because they'll be dead soon. :joker: Sit down.

I'm seeing so many people with the same views as Mock and it's kind of worrying. Why do some young people think they're the only ones that matter? It's disgraceful that they think the older generation, that has lived in this country a lot longer than them, shouldn't have the right to vote.

Can't speak directly for anyone else, but I have to say... Err... Yes I would say that my own situation (and that of my family) is the only one that particularly matters to me, and in my opinion, anyone who thinks differently is ****ing bonkers. No one else is looking out for you :shrug:.
