We’ll be in England in August. Will this matter to us personally? I’m in favor of Brexit but just wondering about it.

I doubt it. If the pound falls big, you should get a lot for your dollar.

Resounding win for leave in Clacton, Essex, with only 25,210 voting to remain, while 57,437 voted to get out of Europe.

Chris Griffiths, a councillor for the Conservatives, said it was turning into a great night. He said: “The people have spoken and they’re saying it’s time to leave. There’s a lot of anger and disaffection in the area – they are fed up with Europe.”

Ukip councillor Richard Everett said that Vote Leave had been very successful in getting out the vote: “We’ve done a much better job in our areas. I’ve been very pleased with this evening.”

No. They are a pretty stalwart bunch over there and this election will be accepted, and they will simply get on with life.

The only area I wouldnt go is some places around London. Last time I was there the hotel I stayed at was run by guess who.

We don’t plan to be in London. We’re going to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival. Should be pretty safe.

Nigel Farage is addressing supporters. He says he expects leave to win.

Dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom ... This will be a victory for ordinary people.

He declares June 23 “our independence day”.

They’re split also. There was a referendum quite a few years ago about changing the national anthem from God Save The Queen to Advance Australia Fair. It was a close vote but the royals won.
