Nah, Tesco will keep it under 4 quid a loaf, and no matter what Tesco value noodles will always and forever be 11p

I prefer to bake my own whenever possible. It's much less expensive plus I know what's in it!

hmmmm but am pretty sure it wont be a EU regulation loaf of bread.....

That's ok!

10,254,802 leave.

Leave still has a big lead.

46 million people are registered to vote.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the turn out has been so far ?

I'm curious if this will end up breaking records...

The economy was in the #ter and we were told how great it would be to be in and how amazing the economy would be thanks to it.

Yeah thanks for that guys.

Sorry, but I'm totally out of the loop on this one. Didn't know it was a big deal until it started reaching the front pages of USA websites.

The big question I have is why Englanders would want to stay a part of the European Union? If I remember my history correctly, England citizens have always valued their independence. Did they vote to become a part of the E.U., or were they forced, or tricked into joining?

some want to stay for a few reasons.

it offers up some benefits lots of things like workers rights come out of the EU, its made trade easier, brought about cheaper travel, many benefit from free travel in the EU, some argue that having a influence within the EU is a huge benefit, others see a unified Europe as offering defensive advantages. The list goes on and on I am not saying i agree with them just that there are some valid reasons why some would like to remain as part of the EU

The economic scaremongering from the Globalists is just that, scaremongering. There is no reputable source that claims the UK economy will be totally destroyed.

If Norway's economy was not destroyed when they left the EU, why should ours be?

We have never been EU-members. We have the independent EFTA agreement (EØS in Norwegian)

You have our support what ever the outcome.

I am starting to dream, but I am trying not to get too excited because there is still time for Remain.

Yep.

It's a shame really because I think if we had our own Laws instead of autocratic BS but everything else was the same I reckon remain would have won this comfortably.


That sovereignty issue took this to the wire IMO.

People can claim it's the immigration, I think that's a ruse to be honest.

One good thing to come of all this, I'm learning lots of new British place names I never knew existed, despite being born and bred here for 36 years.....

There is still time for leave as well. But you cant deny the projection

Looks like there will be over 30m votes - that may well be a record for the UK

In the 1970's, we joined and voted to remain in a free market area, "The Common Market".
Then from about 1980 that began turning itself into the EU.

Well thank you Lancaster.

Also reading some of the earlier results for fun.

Really Wandsworth? REALLY?!

It's arguably the most important political decision for the UK in the past 30 years.

Wandsworth is right next to me.

Kensington & Chelsea did the same...

I'm hoping Fulham do the right thing.
