Oh Eurotwit, the intimidation ended once the UK entered the voting booth. :)

Broxbourne:
In 17,166
Out 33,706
A long way to go, but I am least less pessimistic than I was three hours ago.
Gold is steadily going up.
Let me guess. london will come in last..like philadelphia everytime we think we are about to win PA
Looks like overwhelming rejection of the EuSSR.
Birmingham has supposedly the most moslems in England...
probably will go for remain...
London will be big for remain.
Nigel set a pessimistic tone after the polls were closed. I thought that maybe he was just lowering expectations.
London is made up of (IIRC) 33 different voting areas. They will come in gradually over the course of the night.
BBC Reporting turnout in London not as high as expected - good news for leave
When Labour strongholds go Brexit, you can hear jaws dropping.
They are supposed to be pro-Remain - I mean pro-EU.
So much for the CW.
Of course. Let's look at some history:
Quebec to leave Canada. Oui side loses by 0.4% they're toast now
Scotland to leave UK, small loss they're toast now
UK to leave EU, small loss, now they're toast
Ireland votes to leave Commonwealth, has to fight war, wins.
Kenya votes to leave Commonwealth, has to fight war, wins.
Rhodesia votes to leave Commonwealth, fights war, loses
Southern States vote to leave USA, have to fight war and lose.
Andean countries of South America vote to leave Spain, have to fight war but win
America to leave commonwealth, has to fight a war and wins.
Twain seems correct, voting doesn't seem to work, if you win the vote you still end up fighting.
So good to see you again.
This vote is of course crucial for Europe.
But, it is way more than that.
It is a kick in the balls to the globalists.
I think we are in a dramatic change in politics.
The GOP might die.
The Tories might die.
The new battle line will be globalism versus nationalism.
Which are the Labour strongholds so far?
Zerohedge just now
BBC now saying turnout numbers in London may be disappointing
I hope so.
At least Britain has secret elections in comparison with Sweden.
If Leave wins I will certainly consider it part of the same “spirit of the times” that’s propelling Trump.
I think we will get it now....
