As Mark Steyn often observed, large numbers of people in the Western World readily surrender their freedom at the drop of a hat.
If people in the UK don’t want freedom, that’s the general condition of mankind.
Freedom would be a surprising result.
Spot on
If > 50% of the UK wants islam scum invading them, then there are already too many islam scum residing there.
A civil war with high attrition on the retard side may help.
Sorry KC, but I have more confidence in the UK voting system.
If a vote is ignored it will could a political retaliation of epic proportions.
The vote counting is done by hand ,using independent volunteers.
Within the margin of fraud
Let’s hope the “ shy Tory” effect threw off the polls....
GO BREXIT, GO!! LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE
I’m not very hopeful anymore..... early in June it seemed like BREXIT was on a nice surge. Did that crazy murder of the MP change things or what happened in the past week? Horrifying that half or more of the UK population no longer values their sovereignty and freedom. The EU bureaucracy is a corrupt authoritarian cesspool. This is like people in Eastern Europe voting to remain under the USSR.... ok not quite, but I despise the pompous self-serving EU bureaucrats.
Thanks, Eurotwit. Good to see you again!
There are so many glaring problems with the Leave campaign: nowhere to be seen was there an inspirational Declaration of Independence with signatory representatives, nor any sort of pamphlet along the lines of Common Sense (ironically written by English-born Thomas Paine) putting before the people the common sense of the subject in words so plain and firm as to command their assent, nor any coherent John Adams type to lead the recalcitrant half-hearted worriers to a final vote on independence.
240 years ago the Founding Fathers gave the Leave campaign all the cues they needed to separate from the EU. They didn’t use any of it. Great Britain still doesn’t understand how Independence is done, a quarter of a millennium later. They absolutely do not get it. The very few who do somehow manage to trickle to North America in dribs and drabs. Our revolution against them remains America’s second bloodiest war and was an enormous gambit. All the Brits had to do in Brexit was mark an ‘X’ on a ballot but with a middling 50/50 split they’ve shown they can’t even get that right no matter which way the vote goes.
I like and admire the British people very very much, but there’s a reason they’re over there and we’re over here. I’m sorry, but where liberty is concerned they’re not even up to the kind of stuff that even Canadians are made of.

That is good to hear Moose.
U.S. Votes are computerized, which are totally and completely non-biased.
Right?
Am I Right?
No, No bias at all....Cough Splutter
UKIP’s Nigel Farage says “It looks like ‘Remain’ will edge it”
damn things are not looking good..... sigh..... how can the UK fail to muster 51% in favor of freedom and independence??
The same way people sell it away here.
Free Stuff Over Freedom
Like how Flights to Greece are really cheap in the E.U.
Ye Olde Bread and Circuses.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Partly because they still have it. Things aren't that bad yet. My concern is that more and more rights will be eroded over time which is why I support Leave. Not so much because of the way things are now, but because of the way I fear they will be in as little as five or ten years. A lot of people still aren't seeing the problem.
Maybe the UK students no longer study history either......
At least at Bulgarian carnivals you get a shot of rakia before you shoot your BB gun
Farage is a political chess player almost on a par with Trump. If “leave” wins, he wins. If “remain” wins a close vote, its almost as good and maybe even better for him and UKIP as they become the face of the opposition. Leaving labor and the “conservatives” to scrap over what’s left.
The eurosceptics aren’t going away.
They Leave campaign shouldn’t even have done this unless they thought they had at least 70%+ of the voters on their side.
There is a difference between the US and the UK. Hillary is evil. Cameron is a bumbling fool, and misinformed but not evil. Totally different meme.
I don’t know what they study there and I don’t care. We have to set an example to the west. We can. Trump may not be perfect but he is the best fit we have at the moment. We MUST not choke.
