well i voted at 08.15 this morning and must admit to being surprised at how empty the polling station was but it is early in the day and getting close to school time (our polling station is always a school which still stays open because they use the hall and staff accommodation not the classrooms =D> )

I think it will be 54/46 in favour of remain as a lot of those who are undecided will probably vote for status quo

I reckon it'll be 55 Leave 45 Stay, I'm going by people I speak to not from the polls, a Pissing wet day would help the Brexiteers but sadly that doesn't look like happening, another thing that may help is Bremainer apathy, they are not as fired up as the Brexireers are...the down side was that fechin brainless MP murdering scumbag that cost us around a 5 point lead, If he had a bloody braincell he'd have realised his violent act of White Supremacist style lunacy did nothing for his daft cause, even though his protest was not EU/Brexit related the deviant Pro EU MP's played on it as if it were....Im not sure who the Sicker of those two were..Sick Killer or Sicker MPs.

Whatever Happens I'm sure this will not be the end of the matter..the EU is tearing itself apart from the inside out, only now are the tears starting to appear on it's surface...

Vote OUT..

I'm voting out in the next hour but I fear a remain victory I don't think the pollsters haven't taken into account the shy remainer factor.

I will be doing the same and I fear the same result more down to the "Fear Policy" working - some people have no balls. Europeans will be watching this closely with many wanting the same opportunity - it is not just our lot that wants out.

It will eventually fall/implode in any event, as to when, no one knows. Unfortunately that will spell poverty and National debt on a scale never seen before for us and Europe.

Damn, I didn't see the Quo on the ballot paper or I would have voted for them. How is Rick Parfitt after his latest heart attack?

Talk about fear factor.
You do know that if it is an out vote it will be the end of the DFS sale.

If it is any guide, they did say that if the vote is to leave, the value of the pound to the euro will fall and if we vote to stay then the value of the pound will go up. Well according to fairfx the value of the pound is rising.

The markets seem to think stay will win as the pound has strengthened.

Also the bookies are giving odds that appear to show they are anticipating a stay win too.

I've always thought we would leave, but I've been wrong before, and no doubt will be again in the future.

In over 30 years of voting I've never seen so many people going to and coming from Polling Stations.

It's nice to see the Polling Station staff phoning the Police because people were outside offering other voters pens instead of the pencils provided inside.

Regardless of whether we lose the "Out" vote - at least I can have a clear conscience when it all goes wrong.

Another train of thought.

Would you as a businessman buy into a bankrupt unaudited company, where nobody knows what the employees do, along with the fact that the employees help themselves to serious amounts of money + massive unaudited expenses? because that is what these third world countries are in affect trying to do.........it is corrupt beyond belief.


I note that you never answered my question (posted twice). It speaks volumes of double standards from you on this topic, that you obviously would not "buy" into the above - but you have bought into the same above standards that the EU operates under.........What does that say about you?

Remember the predictions of a Labour win at the General Election and the Tories shock win coming from nowhere?

And the Scottish independence vote was a guaranteed yes........but it wasnt


If middle England, the silent majority, rise up as one the vote could be a leave vote

London would be "stay" for many reasons, but the rest of the UK could tip it to the leave vote winning

Q. Is the EU no more than the biggest ever example of pyramid selling?

take money in, promise it back (or promise payouts) then pay out using the next lot of incoming money?

meanwhile 25% gets filtered off in salaries, expenses, grants and back handers
