What's amusing, is that the politicians have woken up to the fact that they really do need to listen and pay attention to the people they claim to represent, and in doing that, they're going to be working towards getting them back on side.

That means that they're effectively going to have to address the issues that a fair few of the invoters were saying that they didn't like.

Unless it's a landslide to remain, it's win win for brexit.

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.

It's also why Labour haven't got a sniff at getting into power in 2020. Corbyn's ideals put internationalism above all else. It doesn't matter how many Labour voters worry about immigration levels (two-thirds according to most polls), he'll remain stubborn in his internationalism. He's never been challenged on it either. He's only ever been in the company of Labour members who thinks the sun shines out of his arse and pre-selected audiences at rallies. Even his constituency is a middle-class North London haven. This article in the Guardian is an interesting read.

I've said before that the majority of working-class people in this country are patriotic, conservative with a small 'c' and don't particularly like the idea of uncontrolled immigration or multiculturalism for that matter.
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.
yeah thats wht DD said , i thought more would be Stoically British and that kind of patriotic type . clearly not

Newcastle also expected to go Remain , but much closer that the BBC prediction

Sunderland could be 62% leave, apparently. Newcastle very close.
 
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%.
