EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Was in Herne Hill today, where virtually everyone was wearing I'm In stickers.

Think I know how one of my neighbours intends to vote. I don't agree with him.

That is easily one of the best things I've watched - well worth 25 minutes of anybody's time.

Lots of EU parts. Trololol :)

shimano, that famous european brand

#votecampy

These bloody Japanese, coming over here, copying our parts.

If I read "take back control" and "control immigration" one more time I may just go on a foul mouthed tirade.

The nationalism and bullshit is getting to me. Worse is that in The Netherlands my home place the same spurious bullshit arguments are used.

I was at a North London 'twat' Community festival yesterday and there was a Vote In stand and almost everyone had a Vote In sticker on, even the poor kids :(
I wish I had a handful of Brexit stickers to stick on myself and the kids.
Not that I am going to vote Brexit of course, more just to piss people off and because I don't believe children should be politicized in that way.
It' a community festival not a political event. It seems the 'Brexiters' are being viewed with us much hatred as paedo's in some cases. It's all a bit much really

I don't believe children should be politicized in that way.

You don't think parent's should influence their own children's world and social view? Who should?

it's a sticker. kids love stickers.

God. And all their representatives on earth.

Which God?

I just found it in bad taste to be honest. It's a community festival not a rally

I wouldn't put stickers on wee man either or take him to protests until he can make up his own mind about complex issues.

He may after all not agree with me ;)

The betting odds for an Exit result are getting longer and longer - 1.5 this morning, 2.5 an hour ago, now it's 3.5 and getting higher

is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It means that anybody who is making a bet on the outcome of the vote is betting that it will be a Remain outcome.

(Reworded my post to make that a bit clearer)

Apparently the murder of Jo Cox has swung things. Possibly that combined with the Sunday Mail surprisingly getting behind the Remain campaign and Osborne's budget threat.
It's been a massive swing in the odds. Last week exit looked nailed on. Now on Betfair Remain is 2/9. It was 3/10 an hour ago with last week being 7/4

It's been a massive swing in the odds.

Define massive. Polls have been swapping in and out all month with neither side ever being very clearly in the lead, and no poll has shown a side having >50% that I've seen.

If you're talking about betting odds, have they ever given leave better odds than remain?

It's still on a razor's edge.

Last week exit looked nailed on.

The odds never had a greater probability for exit.

I'm hoping that complacency doesn't set in, and remain get out to vote on Thursday. I'm feeling a lot less anxious than I was though.

They did last week. The odds on exit were less that evens and the odds on remain were 7/4 after Murdoch decided he wanted out

If I read "take back control" and "control immigration" one more time I may just go on a foul mouthed tirade.

"I just want my country back" is the meaningless epithet that is currently doing my head in.

Can't wait until Friday.

It's all a carefully orchestrated govt conspiracy isn't it?

The early close polls to make sure the remainders turn out.
The registration website crash.
The murder of the lovely selfless remainer by the BrtnFurtsr.
The racist Farage poster being allowed to go ahead.
The side switching from folk you've never heard of.
The last minute swell of remain momentum.
The chemtrails.

I bet there are plenty of forums that will fill up with this stuff if we stay in.
