I'm not getting much work done today, watching the numbers come in. I've never been much of a fan of Alex Ferguson (though I do respect his achievements) but it really does seem like 'squeaky bum time' I'm nervous. I want to stay in Europe, but I have a few friends that are vehemently supporting leave (and posting all that horrid junk). Facebook has seen some heated discussion and, I think, a fair amount of close-mindedness. |

Fuckkkkkkk - Please please please don't end up with leave winning. (although, I'm not sure how it will really affect me currently, other than the fact I was planning to sell the flat we still have in the UK and buy a house out here - a weak pound will be bad for me there). |

Jesus Christ. Pictures of people celebrating when the pound has fallen 10% and the FTSE is expected to open 19% down. That's a fifth of the value gone overnight. Champagne time you cunts. |

But that the country at large is 52% full of total fucking halfwits. I desperately hope I'm wrong and that the instincts of mouth breathers are weirdly more accurate when it comes to the markets and geopolitics than those of more or less every financial and political expert. Time will tell I suppose. |

UK economy collapsed by $350 billion in the space of a couple of hours. Currency in the toilet. Pensions decimated. Scotland and NI want to break up the Union. Global markets in a state of panic. That went well then. And Boris Johnson isn't even Prime Minister yet. |

But if I was in his shoes, I'd be tempted to put a motion to trigger Article 50 into the commons today, then as the pound and the FTSE burn to the ground, resign and hand the whole mess over to Johnson and Gove to look after. See how far their venal ambitions have taken us. I'm bewildered and angry and sad. We will rue this day. Not just for the direct consequences of this outcome, but for what it means for political discourse. |
