Had dinner last evening with a Scottish friend over on business to Houston. She’z for leave, her co-worker was for remain.

Side note, asked her about the very recent gun amnesty to turn in all their weapons, even from WW2 era and air rifles.

Now, Scots need a government issued license to own an air rifle.

[PGR88]

so far skynews.com seems to have the fastest results.

LEAVE still up 450K

[Ken H]

LEAVE up over 500,000!!!!

FU EU

The Scots will do anything to piss off the English. This, in their mind, makes it possible to re-vote on the independence that they had a few years back. This time they will vote to split away I would bet.

[GilGil]

I saw the leave tally jump another 2% —52 LEAVE 48 REMAIN—This is fun

[crz]

Most of the midlands are still to be tallied. Anyone know which way that area could go?

[VRWC For Truth]

Cameron change his nickers yet? Bwahahahahahayhahahaha!

[odawg]

If they have voted to leave, which I hope, tomorrow when the sun does in fact rise in the east the turbulence will subside.
