    I imagine remain will win but as one commentator said last night something will have to change because the fact that we've even come so close has scared the shit out of the EU suits.

    I wouldn't be devastated with that outcome as I've always said I'd prefer a third option - remain but with serious reform.

    Can Cameron survive? Debatable as he's made an absolute shambles of the campaign and it's clear the vast majority consider his much trumpeted 'renogtiated deal' the equivalent of Neville Chamberlain's piece of paper.

    It's already happening @TheWizardOfIce. And I think that's something both the "Remain" and "Leave" camp agree on. I think....I have always thought....that this referendum would become an historic moment. The referendum should never have happened in the first place, but I do have to say something positive about my dear Brits: You really shake things up in Europe, in Brussels, in Strassbourg. And perhaps in a good way. Just read this:

    http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-merkel-idUSKCN0Z91BT

    Well I'm more than happy to if I wake to still be a member of Europe GG but the very first change that needs to take place is Merkel needs a right slap to stop gobbing off on behalf of the continent. Cameron clearly can't do that so we need someone who can. Boris a joke yes but at least he doesn't mind showing the Germans what's what:



    Bosh!! Take that Fritz! Lovely stuff.

    The last poll, gives it as 52% to remain and 48% to leave. It will be interesting
    To see how accurate this turns out to be.

    An early exit poll from YouGov says:
    "A YouGov projection based on a survey of 5,000 people on polling day suggests Remain ahead, with 52% to Leave's 48%."

    Thing is I cant even tell if you're taking the piss there or actually sat down and did it.

    Sounds entirely believable.

    Remain not sounding quite so confident after that Newcastle result. Too close to call.

    To quote the late Brian Moore: 'It's up for grabs now!'

    Don't get me started.

    Shall we evaluate all the arguments and vote what's best for Britain or what might stop Spain invading our little strip of sand?

    Do they even pay anything in to the treasury?

    F**k me its on now!!

    Don't panic Remainers. Grim northern towns all going to vote leave more readily than metropolitan London with its ethnic diversity and Pride marches.

    I would be surprised if you don't pull it round.

    Grim northern towns? Grimsby and Leeds, yes. Hull most definitely not.

    Yeah they always choose some godforsaken place for that don't they?

    Calling it Capital of Culture sounds so much better than saying 'this is a town of Neanderthals so we're trying to drum up a bit of interest in culture and the arts rather than whippets and Watney's red barrel' I guess.

    Yes the pound is falling as will the stock market tomorrow if the final result is leave, but F**k them, I told people on here to get their capital to a safe place, remember these are the same pathetic sh*ts who caused the mess in 2008.

    And just like in 2008, it's going to be the poorest and the middle classes who are hit the hardest. Nice one lads.

    Currency traders and hedge funds will have made sure they've covered all eventualities. Whatever the result there will be people in the city making a tidy return.

    Margin of nearly 300 000 in favour of leave. Astounding.

    Sheffield votes leave (my counting area). Not surprising.

    Wow. Cameron gambled the country's future and lost. This is going to be an interesting 48 hours.

    Can't quite believe it yet.

    Hope the predictions of doom turn out to be wrong.

    How long before the SNP call another referendum?

    Sometimes you wake up with news.....from which you know it will be a historic moment, but an historic moment with dire consequences. And usually I don't think like this. Still, my congratulations for the Bremain-voters.

    I suppose all we have here really is another notch on Britain's long, tumbling slide into total obscurity. The Union with Scotland will probably be the next to go. Historians of the future will see this as part of the same managed decline that's been going on for a century.
