Yeah, there is at least one pirate stream that I know of, but it isn't very reliable. Google "fox business live stream" and you may find something (other than the FBN website or Youtube).

I'm using Playstation Vue for my cable TV needs. $30 a month for a bunch of good cable channels and unlimited DVR.

Here is an excellent over view of what's happening 'over there'.

[LostInBayport]

The parallels between the UK and the US in the commentary are striking. Concerns over unrestricted immigration, loss of jobs in the industries like steel, and voters being unresponsive to the wishes of their political parties.

Not a happy year for establishment types. Where is my violin?

I have the champagne chilling. ;-)

BBC Number cruncher says Leave now favourites!

I’ll toast ya’ with a cold one if they win! And have a good cry. Finally....the ‘good guys’ win?

[nutmeg]

Yes, that was Nile Gardner, head of Margaret Thatcher Institute. Nile is fantastic! As is Daniel Hannan. I was privileged to see/hear both speak at CPAC a few years ago. They both brought the house down, particularly Hannan.

[Krosan]

I guess Austria and Belgium will always side with France and Germany, but this still leaves 70% of the votes for taking. I don’t really see anyone aside from Austria and Belgium who really like France+Germany more than Britain. I mean deep down like not politicking.

Brexit is running stronger than the polls predicted.

Its a rejection of Cameron, the EU and the way the UK has given up on its national sovereignty.

A populist win in UK and a resounding repudiation of the Tory-Labour Uniparty elite.

Its Nigel Farage’s night.

[America_Right]

This is awesome news. I bet big on Brexit (big put on GM and invested heavily in gold mining stocks). This is gonna be good for my retirement account as long as GM drops big tomorrow morning.

[MUDDOG]

Men will say, this was their second-finest hour.

[Abiotic]

96% Remain

but overall Leave is doing better that expected

[naturalman1975]

Labour believes about a third of Labour voters are voting Leave - they expected that to be more like ten percent and that may be a big part of the difference in what is being seen.

Some people don’t always understand that the old style leftists in the UK can be incredibly patriotic - they don’t all subscribe to internationalism.
