    Still not sure about the not be slaves again part, but there certainly been angry men.

    The UK has decided, so now the UK has to face the consequences. I'm not sure there will still be a UK in a few years time, but that's part of the consequences that we'll have to live with.

    Edit: It looks like London, Manchester and Scotland have been the big remain strongholds, with most of the rest lukewarm or strongly leave.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Pound and FTSE getting absolutely routed. Recession on the menu.

    Second Scottish independence vote to be within the next 12 months, I'm calling that now. (This time it will pass).

    What makes you think that? They have even less chance of survival now than they did 2 years ago and that referendum bound them, I think the scots are more honorable than to break thier word over this.

    Congrats UK. However this pans out, have pride that if your Union falls, at least it was bloodless and democratic.
