I am so happy. I also feel vindicated by the clear proof that a majority of the country feel as I do. Hate to say I told you so.

Pensioners being the majority that voted isn't exactly the majority of the country.

Anyone who thinks "pleased or disappointed" are appropriate descriptors in this situation, probably doesn't understand the magnitude of what they were being asked to vote on...

So pleased I can hardly stop smiling, was convinced Project Fear would rule the day and almost certainly expected a remain majority.

So when I heard the news this morning on a bright new sunny day for Britain I feel vindicated for years of support for UKIP and the British democracy. The majority of people have finally woken up and called time on this dangerous European project.

We are a proud ancient nation, the worlds oldest democracy, the worlds 5th largest economy a senior member of the Un and NATO , as such we do not need to be ruled by a group of nameless , faceless, unelected bureaucrats.

Perhaps now we can stop endless,mindless immigration and set up proper controlled immigration as required.

A big thanks to Nigel Farage who has worked tirelessly to wrestle control of our Nation back from the European disaster that is the EU

A finally good riddance to David Cameron who has constantly ignored the will of the British people and now pays the price with his embarrassing sad resignation as PM.

Now if we can just get rid of Scotland.........!!!!

"Ashamed to be British" might have been more accurate, but sure, disappointment'll do for now

Mixed reactions. It's not black or white, both campaigns had some good points and I really don't know what would I pick had I been given the choice.
Let's see how it unfolds, it could go either way.

It was a plain and simple "every vote counts" election and leave won it.

This was a debate driven by lies and fear, as negative as it could be. Big money and the bulk of the establishment have done well out of this ridiculous European project.

Nobody has been able to provide a sensible analysis of the pros and cons of this choice, preferring instead to scare voters into staying with the devil you know and remaining in this flawed European mess.

Well the British people were left with deciding on the bigger principles involved in Democracy and self determination. Thank goodness people finally woke up and said they did not want to remain subsumed into this European nightmare.

The leavers tune has changed after the vote extension was being blamed as a rig for a potential loss when the odds weren't their way.

Apparently holiday prices are going to rise though, right before I book mine. Bloody typical

I find it very sad, where I work is quite multicultural and it felt a bit like walking on egg shells today with people deliberately not talking about the vote, almost like they were embarrassed to be associated with turning their backs on their European colleagues in this way. It was all a bit awkward

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.

So does Farage resign now?

Nigel Farage has admitted that it was a "mistake" to promise that Ł350million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote.

Maybe we could rejuvenate our neglected Sea-side towns, and have them brimming with holiday makers once again.
