Our national news channel has remain up for hours by now. But I take that with a bag of salt, since it doesn't seem to be as clear cut as they want us to believe.
Personally I wouldn't give a shit, since it doesn't affect me in my personal life and I would like to sit back and watch the leavers reap the benefits of their decision when their country's going down the international toilet. But it may encourage other rightwingers to do the same, before the proverbial really hits the fan in the UK, which won't happen for a couple of years, since leaving is a complicated process.

Remain is at 49% and Leave is at 51%, according to the Guardian.

A trend seems to be emerging, watching it live. Scottish people seem more likely to vote "remain" while, so far, Northern English people are mostly going "leave". It's hardly been a landslide in any place yet though, with the exception of Gibraltar (which I don't get why they have a say, but ok). Still very close.
Haven't seen enough of Wales or Southern England yet to notice anything. I'm going to assume Birmingham, London and probably the other very large cities will be mostly "remain", but might be wrong.

Which could turn out to be interesting, since there's another scottish secession referendum on the horizon if the leave camp succeeds.

I was very surprised at East Ayrshire voting to remain. A lot of die hard "Long Live the Queen" loyalist types around those areas.

I was in Shropshire last weekend and they were overwhelmingly promoting leave.

Has it been formally agreed that there will be one though? Last I seen the SNP were just talking about it.

Yes, I think the Scottish referendum was already very tight and marginal before as well, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's big things coming from this.
