I'm half-tempted to load up 'Chatroulette' later and ask people what they think about the general policy direction of the Juncker commission or their views on the democratic legitimacy of the co-decision procedure.

Whale Leave flotilla on Thames.

There have been reports of brief, light-hearted skirmishes, including the exchange of hose fire.

No, what happens is that the workers will lose their false consciousness, throw off their chains, and rise up against the bourgeoisie

It would mean an end to Cameron as PM, and Boris replacing him.
Hardly a socialist win there.

Communist plot uncovered in Highgate

One week to go.

I think my game plan for 'Eurovision: Civil War' will be to watch the exit polls and coverage at the start, then turn in and get up around 4 AM. I'll probably have the bedside radio on just in case something big happens.

Private drinking games? Shot of wine for every area that goes 'remain'; shot of beer for every area that goes 'out'?

...counts will get under way when polls close at 22:00 GMT Thursday, 23 June at 382 local centres around the UK. These local results will be declared as the counts are completed before being collated at 12 regional centres, which will also declare the totals for each side. There will be a rolling total so the time at which one side reaches the point of being mathematically unbeatable depends on how quickly the vote are counted and how close the results are running. It is a safe bet that from 4am onwards there should be pretty clear picture of which way the vote is going. A chief counting officer will announce the overall result at Manchester Town Hall.

Watched Gove on catch up TV last night (Question Time).
Sorry to say, he did very well, and was well received by the audience. I could feel the tide turning strongly in his favour; as ever with Nationalism, hubristic, jingoistic, soul-stirring land-of-milk-and-honey bullshit firmly trumps boring, dry economic facts. It's like no-one noticed £30Bn wiped off the stock exchange, wasn't even fucking mentioned.

I'm not liking being on the losing side very much, I must say.

Hold steady, Cavey. We can do this!

I'm sticking to the bitter end mate; for my part I am telling anyone who'll listen to vote Remain - but seem to be further cementing my rep as a dangerous Lefty among my hardline, cynical Eurosceptic social circle... fuck knows what they'd make of the forum lol.

I watched it last night as well. I don't think the tide turned in his favour; I think the general strength of favour was for him at the start. I know the audience was apparently balanced, but I guess the Brexiters seemed the more vocal.

I know it's a politician's way, but his flabby goat around the sheer contradiction of his ideas over the NHS made him so weasely in his snotty school boy appearance that I actually disliked him more by the end of the program... Something I didn't think was possible.

The angles and lines of the backgrounds and banks are identical. Even if it was taken in the same place the photographer would have to have been standing in the same spot.

Intentional, surely?

Of all the stupid I've read, Fox going to Gibraltar to claim that a vote for remain will close the Spanish border and they need to vote leave to keep the border open has to rank among the most brainhurtingly thick.

At my most kindest I'd say that maybe they just hit up a photo library and searched for "refugee queue"

It gets better. Here's the original of that image of queues of referees. Guess what they've done? Photoshopped out the white people so it's very clear that all refugees are of course brown people
