Unlike most of you on here, I am not staying up for the results, me losing a nights sleep is not going to effect the result. Boris is going to have a majority and democracy will not be the same again- in my lifetime, which lets face it can't be that long. The only question in my mind is will there be a creditable opposition in 5 years time, for that to happen there either has to be massive changes to the Labour or they are repalced by a new left of centre Party. I have never been so depressed about the state of politics in UK, during the last 9 years we have had a dreadful government, and he last 4 years easily the worst ever and they are going to be reelected.
Right wing aquaintance has posted "I can forget my plans to move our money out of the country now." When the economy tanks post Brexit I'll take a little pleasure in quoting that back at him.
And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.

All of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-u-Lyme going Tory. f.ck, it wasn't long ago that every single council seat in S-o-T was Labour. Still, the newly unemployed G Snell In N-u-L can f.ck off.
Just tell 'em I'm broke and don't come round here no more.

Pound has just shot up against the euro.
Lots of users will have shot up against the result.
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Well, he won't be able to blame anyone else for his incompetence in negotiations. So there's that.
I try to console myself with the idea that whatever comes next the Tories and Johnson have to own...
... Except they won't, as about the only thing the electoral campaign (and Trump's election and the Brexit referendum before it) has proven is that shamelessness has no electoral downside.
Brexit could turn even more into a dumpster fire, Ireland could reunify and the NHS handed to Trump wrapped in a bow and all Boris would need to do is take a steaming dump on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, lock the Queen in a fridge and fellate Putin on live television for him to win Workington by a landslide again.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
