UK EU Referendum Thoughts

Heavy industry, though?

Manufacturing is manufacturing, it doesn't have to mean warships and aeroplanes. Although we do still make quite a lot of planes.

Did anyone ever play British Bulldogs in school? I loved that game, because I was really good at sprinting and side-stepping, so often used to win or come close to winning.

IT'S PROBABLY ILLEGAL NOW BECAUSE THE EU KILLS FUN.*

*'Vote Leave' to avoid Calais Syrian Bulldogs

Looks like a narrow remain.

 

[craner]

Looking OK, isn't it? As good as we could expect.

Counting still underway, though, and no exit poll.

i was so hyped I pencilled X almost at random. Think it was the top box, forgot to read what was next to it assuming it was the top box. Staggered away unsure, but what can you do?

The polling officer let my son mash down the papers in the ballot box with a special democracy stick when I was done.

Brexit Tory MPs basically conceding here.

 

[craner]

Chris Grayling practically grovelling here.

 

[craner]

Oliver Craner mumbling uninteresting mush here.

 

[craner]

Blah blah too early to blah say blah

 

[craner]

Think I might go to bed now, actually.

To what degree did Jo Cox's murder swing this towards remain? It felt like it kicked the legs from under Leave this time last week. Almost Gavrilo Princip levels of counterproduction there.

It's almost as if her killer isn't some kind of Machiavellian master strategist!

I also suspect the sound shoeing English supporters got in Marseille undermined the bulldog-flying-a-spitfire spirit that fuelled Leave. Our hooligans were left looking very ordinary up against the Russians, that kind of thing hurts your nationalist's pride.

If indications are correct, I think it was decisive.

Farage just made a toxic "concession" speech - absolutely horrific stuff. This will not end. These fuckers will not give up.

On the up-side, I guess, Brexit Tory MPs are scurrying back onto The Team.

Small scraps, I guess.

Well, Kettering and Swindon are leaving Europe - I wish them well.
