Brexit
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Re: Brexit
Fading. Bed time soon.
After thinking Remain would just about win it, now I have no idea what I am going to wake up to.

Re: Brexit
Leave 26,000 in the lead. Still early days. 62% Leave in South Tyneside. Turnout still massively high.

Re: Brexit
That is so spot on! The TV coverage is spookily similar.

Re: Brexit
Leave was just the first to break 1m. London could well massively skew this and are yet to return results of any consequence.

Re: Brexit
Remain rallied and just a smudge ahead now. This is so close.

Re: Brexit
It's looking like Leave at the moment but there seem to be a ton of votes out yet.

Re: Brexit
Either way, the pundits on Sky seem to think Cameron is going to have to call for a general election and/or resign.

Re: Brexit
There's apparently a place somewhere in the UK called Vale of White Horse. I assume that's where the Lannisters live?

Re: Brexit
Not for long, maybe. Some recent article's headline suggested to me that Brexit could mean curtains for Game of Thrones. I can trust some recent article's headline, right?

Of course. That's been the platform on which Trump has built his policy positions.

Re: Brexit
I saw that hilarious bullshit. Christ, I dread to think what social media is going to look like. Full of entitled whingers in the left leaning metropolitan liberal echo chamber no doubt raging at the great unwashed for exercising their democratic rights, getting their opinions given to them by the Guardian. This is going to be a bloodbath!!!The Swollen Goiter of God wrote:Not for long, maybe. Some recent article's headline suggested to me that Brexit could mean curtains for Game of Thrones.

Re: Brexit
So I was feeling a little nervous about what comes next, a little moment of "Oh shit, we really voted out!".
Not anymore though. Now I am entertained beyond words, by the Twaterati on Social Media completely, totally and utterly losing their shit over this result.

It was kind of funny listening to the NPR anchors this morning struggling to stay unbiased about the whole thing.

Re: Brexit
Already they are screaming via petition to have a 2nd referendum because the first one had a turn out below 75% and was won by a side with less than 60% of the vote. They just cannot understand that some other people saw the world differently to them.
Like tantrum toddlers who didn't get the ice cream they wanted, they will now cause a scene.
Everyone voted, some people voted a different way to you, get over it!

Re: Brexit
We had eight years of George W. Bush because of thresholds far lower than that. They can fucking deal with it.

Re: Brexit
I held my nose and voted 'out' due to the inability of the EU to act democratically and its resistance to reforming in line with the wishes of the majority of the populace.
Switched from 'in' about three days before.

Re: Brexit
A bit. I was totally divided personally. In the end my vote felt the same as the overall result, only just over 50% personally convinced. But I do still believe it needed to happen. We have a massive democracy deficit in the EUand the Brits aren't the only ones that feel this way.
