This is like the beginning of Costain’s novel, The Tontine. Rumors flying about the Exchange, of Wellington’s defeat by Napoleon. One fellow has faith in Wellington, and his fortune is made that day.
Channel 107 if you have Frontier/Verizon.
US futures - /ES - now -30 on higher volume. Looks like Leave is winning
While you here do snoring lie,
Open-eyed conspiracy
His time doth take.
If of life you keep a care,
Shake off slumber, and beware:
Awake, awake!
The Tempest
Shakespeare
US futures, /ES, -45-50 which is about -2.25%
Listen, strange bureaucrats lyin’ in Brussels distributin’ rules is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical European Union.
May God bless the UK. The sun may have set on her empire, but it will never set on what she created. The Magna Carta, and its descendants down through the centuries, will always shine on in the minds of those who have eyes to see.
As we watch these results from afar, he to-day that votes for Brexit shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition.
If Brexit wins, I will open some Fullers Special Ale, stand in a box, and sing Jerusalem at the top of my lungs.
And the dreams of domination by petty Eurotrash will be pinin’ for the fiords.
PBS (just now) and KCBS (one hour ago) just reported that brexit seems to be failing by about 2%. PBS gave some brit about 5 minutes of time to make a pitch for voting “remain”: basically, nervousness of existing job holders.
Runnymede votes leave. Home of the Magna Carta
BBC

6,132,569 Remain
The lead keeps jumping back and forth.
It's just like watching MSNBC hosts talk about conservatives !
ITV (via C-SPAN) just said that they believe that “Leave” has an 80% chance of winning at this point. I can hardly believe this is really happening. I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much, but this is great news.
Leave ahead by 516,000 - 201/382 declared
I’m a little late to the party.
Regardless how the vote turns out, half of the British People are singing, “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”.

This is exciting.
I know some people say this vote doesn’t really compel anything, but I feel like I’m watching a battle for western civilization.
I have been watching the guardian results which seem really good, anyone recommend some good live feeds that don’t require a TV? I’d like to see ITV or sky or whatever
