Live coverage of the result of the EU referendum.

This is a live BBC stream starting at 21:55 BST.

That doesn’t sound like the guy on the stream I’m listening to. He was saying Wales working people haven’t been represented for years. They have had the Labour Party in and they aren’t who should be there representing them. He was mad. So it didn’t sound like he was a socialist as well as most of the people he knows.

Didnt London elect a Jihadist Mayor so there ya go

The trend is your friend.

Question is will London’s Remain vote be enough?

No.

[thoughtomator]

The following statements you have made on this thread are false:

1) “BBC is about to call it for Brexit!!!!”

Reality: BBC is not going to call this for BREXIT until it absolutely has to, which is going to be many hours away.

2)”Brexit leading by blowout margins. Not enough for Remain to overcome.”

Reality: the separation is a fraction of a percent, not “blowout margins”.

3) “Brexit posting landslide margins everywhere.”

Reality: BREXIT is posting landslide margins in some places, but nowhere close to “everywhere”.

4) “Sunderland, Hartlepool, Swindon and other towns. About 70%-30%.”

Reality: Hartlepool was 70/30. Swindon was 55/45 and Sunderland was 62/38.

Now, I haven’t combed all your posts on this thread so far but here are four examples of patently false information that you have deposited here. While your enthusiasm is great, spreading false information is not.

Hmmm... I always thought Sky News was close to “fair and balanced”, and BBC was equivalent to MSNBC. Guess I have it backwards?

Swansea following national Brexit trend.

London will go Remain. It may not go Remain by as large a margin as expected, but it will go Remain.

No surprise. Englishmen are way outnumbered in Londonistan.
