Listen, strange bureaucrats lyin’ in Brussels distributin’ rules is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical European Union.

May God bless the UK. The sun may have set on her empire, but it will never set on what she created. The Magna Carta, and its descendants down through the centuries, will always shine on in the minds of those who have eyes to see.

As we watch these results from afar, he to-day that votes for Brexit shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition.

If Brexit wins, I will open some Fullers Special Ale, stand in a box, and sing Jerusalem at the top of my lungs.

And the dreams of domination by petty Eurotrash will be pinin’ for the fiords.

Implications for politics here in the “colonies”? Would this give any impetus for secession?

I want Britain to persist through history with its culture and ideas intact rather than being dissolved into social democratic Europe. The Brits are our brothers and forebears and I want to keep them, not lose them. I will be elated if Leave wins tonight.

Hear, hear!

Oh, there are far more amusing place names in England, many of which sound downright rude to Americans. For instance, Shitterton. Or, Twatt.

How would you like to live in either of those places, lol?
