    I read online that Richard Dawkins said we shouldn't even be having a referendum on this because we live in a parliamentary democracy where we elect 'experts' to make our decisions for us and an issue as important as the EU shouldn't be decided by 'know-nothing' voters. Considering Jeremy Corbyn has two Es at A level, he's also a know-nothing and shouldn't be anywhere near running the country. And judging by his current behaviour and political views, he still behaves like a naive sixth form politics student and trust me, I know a lot of them from sixth form - they're ****ers.

    I won't normally have the Guardian in the house, as I've always used Andrex or before that Izal. However that article is semi-perceptive, and sheds some daylight on the lives of millions of English people in traditional heartlands left behind by the New Labour ****s- let's hope that some of the ****ers who line up behind Remain, Corbyn's Labour might read it and get a clue.

    Irish players wouldn't have a problem, we've had a free movement agreement with them since the 1920's. You don't even need a passport to travel to Ireland, you can go with any ID, if it even gets checked.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure we have a border agreement with the Republic which isn't too different from Schengen.

    To be fair, Gibraltar was always expected to have a vote like this.

    Could've been closer if 8 people hadn't got confused about putting one 'x' in one box....

    Farage looked like he was doing his press gig in the bar of Margate football club.

    Ooh. Incredibly close in Newcastle. 63,598 to 65,404 in favour of remain.

    Predictions said it would be a comfortable win for remain, something like 70%.
