As of now LEAVE up 50,000!

There's a real-time results calculator running on several websites. LEAVE up 500,000 now!

If that is true, REMAIN is flaming out.

And Trump will be in Scottland tomorrow. Not a bad gambit.

BREXIT? I like that term.

Here in the U.S., we need a few similar terms....

Like:

TEXIT
FLEXIT

and a few more.

Or, we can do it in reverse for kicking out some of our least wanted states, like...

NYEXIT
CAEXIT
MAEXIT
ILLEXIT
WASHEXIT

and a few more undesirable states.

I now dare to dream that the dawn is coming up on an independent United Kingdom.

Probably 1:00 am eastern; however, if it is true LEAVE is up 500,000 it is over and done with.

I hope so. But I still expect the Globalists will pull enough votes out of their a$$ to squeak by.

Not if LEAVE is now up 500,000.

From @nigel_farage

Sterling’s 8% fall is biggest ever one-day move

The pound is now down 8% at $1.36, its biggest ever one-day move (it swung by 7% in 2008).

The falls have accelerated as Sheffield unexpectedly backed leave and ITV put an 80% chance on leave winning the vote.

I don’t get the Scots - they lean towards Scottish Independence but seem to overall support remaining in EU.

Its an extremely illogical proposition.

I have no doubt that the fix is in. But do they have enough fix to stay in?
