I don't think nailing a poster as being "employed" can be deemed stalking just yet.

I know some relatively sane people who are voting Brexit, it is just a coincidence that all batshit fantasists on here appear to be of one mind.

In what way Duff, i'm not asking what he does or where he does it. Just asking if he owns the company he works for or is at least a director, a director is still an employee though.

I know a fair few 'Bubble' types whose jobs will be affected but are voting out anyway. Fair play.
But yes, the fringe on here, if they reflected the country at large, Remain would be pissing it.

It's at least a tangible benefit, which is more than any of the Brexit fruitloops could offer.

Thank you bimbo, most fair of you considering we regularly disagree.

Perhaps a more pertinent question would be, what difference does it make?

Question made without prejudice.

I, of course, meant Leave would be pissing it.

Essex and southern trains getting the worse of that, I think they're mainly reactionary brexiters. There are no train past Ilford until Saturday.

I voted remain, like anyone with an ounce of judgment.

In my leafy part of Surrey there were loads of vacant-looking people wandering around clutching polling cards. God knows how they voted.

Is it safe to assume that they didn't

The NZ Herald breaking news tab is saying Farage has conceded defeat (soon after polls closed) but with no other info other than "details soon".

On the pulse of the world is the Aunty Herald.

Fundamentally I would be an Out voter.

However... You have to sell me what you are asking me to change too. and the Out campaign failed utterly to even outline what the changes they intended to make let alone sell a vision of what the country outside the EU would be.

I think he was asked and he said he thought remain would nick it..

Farage has uncharacteristically back-tracked.

As the ballot is secret, it can never be proved in court.

brat · Post by **brat** » Thu Jun 23, 2016 11:28 pm

I voted remain.. I registered but was a fence sitter as I like Johnson
But currently staying with brother ( banker ) here in london and he said he would turf me out if I voted leave

Lots of canvassing for remain today out and about. Didn't see anyone for leave..london is a bit of a stronghold for remain though.. full of immigrants

It could (and arguably should) have been observed by the presiding officer, albeit at a distance. if it had been, he or she should have taken the ballot paper away to be destroyed, and it would be at their discretion whether o not to issue a replacement

Ah I see.....
No electoral laws broken. Photo was of her outside the polling station after I voted, - I marked my own ballot paper, I just let her think she was assisting with her Peppa Pig rubber pencil, guess I should have put "marking" in quotation marks.
