The Guardian has a useful guide to the night's events.

It's a bit of a pain that the referendum vote has come at the same time as Glstonbury. I don't believe for one second that everyone who might otherwise have voted has arranged for postal or proxy votes.

The polling station was empty this morning. Drove right up to it, walked in, voted, left. Took 30 seconds.

If Curio has done it then I am confident everybody else has managed it.

Yeah, but Maria organised that, surely

voting's always a painless process in my experience. I love doing it!

Good point.

The problem is if people get in to work, don't vote in the morning, and then can't get back home.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

Actually I managed it and she ballsed hers up!

A leave friend of mine has just posted the opening lines of the colonials' declaration of independence on sinister Facebook:



Say what you like about Jean-Claude Juncker but I think I'd prefer him to mad King George anyday. Although I must have been away when they broke away from debates over kettles to arrange this:

If this story is real it is golden.

Brexit supporters urged to take own pens to polling station amid fears of MI5 conspiracy

I think 90% of #usepens is taking the piss out of crazy conspiracy theorists who actually think vote rigging would be done by rubbing out ballots and changing the vote. But those people are out there.

I don't know, Craster. I've just searched on Teitter and there are an awful lot of people urging everyone to rake owns. I didn't see a single one who appeared to be joking.

It's typical reactionary conspiracy theory nonsense like white genocide. It really shows a bizarre kind of mindset.

Typical Tietter. Obsessed with raking owns.

A ballot isn't a contract

No, I was talking more about general legal documents.

The only signatures required by law are a transfer of real property, stocks, shares, maritime insurance and the other thing. And deeds.

If memory serves.

If I was MI5, and I'm not (honest), I would rig a vote by having pre-made voting forms with crosses on them, and simply swap nab the box and swap them out.

(You can't swap out a box with a box pre-stuffed, unfortunately, as then you'll have vote-ids in there that didn't vote, which is SUSPICIOUS)
