    As I type it is about 3 AM GMT and the exit folk are well ahead with over 2 million votes counted so far. way too early to celebrate but it does nook like the UK wants to remain the UK and not become a dumping ground for EU refugees.

    I see a temp market correction tomorrow, a lot of 'end of the world' panty wetting from the left but a stronger, more confident UK in a year or so as the ties are cut and the country gets back to self governance.

    I hope they have found the guts to get out of that idiotic mish mash of a failed union.
    I may have to get a little more respect for them.
    I wonder how Pat Condell will celebrate this?

    To much money on the line. It won't matter what the voters decide unless it favors "remain". We'd already have the results otherwise.

    In the long term this will be good for the UK. In the short-term, it is going to be a very rocky road. It being an exit.

    About 15 million votes counted with Brexit winning.

    Scotland voted remain at about the level that England voted to leave so at thus point it,s cancel. The London results are not in yet and London should be.going for strong remain. Wonder if Glascow has reported yet.

    Thus reminds me of watching US election results of battleground states and watching for the big cities to come in .

    Good for the Brits.

    I was starting to doubt that they had the nerve to take back their country

    Still lots of votes left to count. Don't get too optimistic.

    The EU will have real concerns about this, as there are other nations that question their membership.

    My bet is that the UE won't treat the UK kindly. They just can't afford to make this appear to be an easy road.

    Either way, my gold stocks are going to benefit.

    But here's to hoping for a Brexit. Getting the beers ready.

    24 million votes and Brexit is ahead about 1 million! I read a blog that said the London voter turnout was lower than expected

    I suspect its rigged and in the end the government will declare that Brexit just barely lost, but we'll see.

    BBC is forecasting "Leave" wins. Kudos to the Brits, it's a gutsy move, shame on the Scots and Londonistanners :D

    They'll be sorry- As if the UK was doing well before being in the EU...I see Scotland leaving the UK...It's the working class wanting an imaginary golden age back...see the Trump people line up in ignorant support.

    I am surprised but I would have voted for it too. I think people underestimate the immigration concerns. It appears to be a divide between London and larger cities and the rest of the UK. It would be consistent with the allegations that London was sucking up too much of the government's money and getting more preferential treatment by Parliament as far as the economic recovery.
