Live. Cannot believe UK discusses immigration that the USA refuses.

[Jemian]

I may have this wrong but I think it was Ipswich and Essex where my ancestors lived. They came over with the Great Puritan migration. Kinda proud of that, I am.

[ealgeone]

Urban areas are the problem in the UK just like the US.

[Sarah Barracuda]

WOW HOLY COW, felt all doomy and gloomy a few minutes ago but now Im happy again..THANK U WALES!! Not familiar with the UK so my apologies but Wales is a pretty large area right

[goldstategop]

Its really England, Wales and to some extent, NI that want to leave.

Scotland wants to stay.

[SueRae]

Thank you! I suppose I’ve watched Braveheart one too many times. Shows how much I know about other countries. I would have expected Scotland to value freedom and independence much more strongly..

[UKrepublican]

Dear God this is agonizing

[MUDDOG]

Reported within the last half hour:

"Oddschecker compiled betting odds now suggest that there is a 55pc chance of a Brexit result. For the first time, withdrawing from the EU is considered more likely than staying."

The Telegraph

[Spirit of Liberty]

Beaverlick, Kentucky.

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL Beaverlick..Bill Clinton wishes he lived there

[goldstategop]

I called it for Brexit over two hours ago.

The bookies are late to cut to the chase.

[wrcase]

The way that the British count and report their votes adds to the suspense. I almost wish we did it like this but geography makes it impossible. We have congressional districts larger than Great Britain.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

No, Hillary does!

[lizma2]

Was in Scotland a few weeks ago. Leave sign everywhere,. Pray.

[lizma2]

THE SCOTS!!! Oh frick! They have come a long way from William Wallace. DANG! Just got back from there a couple weeks ago. Love those people. Why in God’s name have they decided to drop their brain?????
