I am in Norway.

We are the “Norway Option”

Basically access the European market, follow a lot of EU regulations, but keep a lot more soverignty.

Us, Iceland and Switzerland.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I believe less than that at the current rate.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I am so frustrated by the ignorance and stupidity of free people all over the damn globe right now, that it’s hard to even sit here calmly and post anything at all!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Gotcha. :) Thanks!

[Eurotwit]

The Norwegian government just released their demographic forecast.

Ethnic Norwegians will within decades be a minority in Norway.

We came late.

But, we might clear the brown people in the majority at the same time.

Yay us :)

From the BBC:

Pound wobbles on Newcastle result

This from Jeremy Cook, of World First currency exchange: "Pound is down in the past few minutes. Marginal win for Remain in Newcastle giving pound bulls the willies. Newcastle should be a solid Remain victory."

Sunderland

51,930 in
82,394 out

Very good result for Leave

[RightGeek]

The BBC's James Landale, speaking from a Stronger In event in Newcastle, says the mood there was "pretty optimistic" but when the Newcastle result came in - which gave Remain a very narrow win - there was "a distinct sucking in of the teeth".

But the mood here is "still hopeful", he adds.

[moose07]

Sunderland result= LEAVE ! By 30000 votes.

[Eurotwit]

Gooo Sunderland.

[Repeal 16-17]

Sunderland has put Leave in the lead nationwide.

[naturalman1975]

Sunderland has gone much more strongly for leave than a close vote overall would indicate was likely

[RKBA Democrat]

Heh, heh.

Sunderland must be ticked that Newcastle beat them for reporting results.

[Jane Long]

Hallelujah!!

[RKBA Democrat]

Wow!!!!!
