Give it to those EU bastards!

Oh Bella, I know you're being jovial but I've had my pension stolen once before in an economic downturn and don't really fancy the impoverishment in my dotage that will follow as all the savings I've made since then are stolen once again to atrifically inflate the profits of major banks & corporations so that the Execs can retain their bonses.

That's a big part of why I voted Remain.
Sum ergo sum

Now remain's in the lead by about 20,000 votes, still after five results. I'm not sure the displays in sync cos it definitely said five before when leave was in the lead by about 3000. Another small one's just come in, bringing it up to six but still about 20000 ahead for remain.

It's probably the same as with our presidential elections, which may be up for a second helping. A stark contrast between rural and urban, educated versus less educated areas. Open for any result, which goes to show which kind of people are easiest to impress by tabloid and populist fear mongering. And which goes to show that serious politics as a whole fails miserably when communicating with the people.

It's going to be close.

I voted remain. I was undecided tbh, because I don't think it's really going to make a difference in our everyday lives, we'll still get fucked over by greedy rich bastards while our politicians lie to us.

It's also a non-argument where immigration is concerned. If immigration concerns you (honestly I don't give a fuck, genuinely), voting "out" is only going to block European immigrants... and most immigrants into the UK are non-Europeans from ex-British Empire colonies.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Yep, after 8,about 7000 ahead for leave. I think I'll shut up now for a while because it looks like it's just gonna keep oscillating like this for a while.
