Brexit poll

I’ve still not decided which way I’ll vote but I’m predicting a solid majority for Remain. Simply because it’s the status quo and people fear change.

Bump: Anyone not following the shenanigans surrounding the Brexit flotillais missing some quality British-style comedy. Nigel Farage vs Bob Geldof on the Thames, complete with racism and firehoses and stroppy fishermen and a lot of brilliant tweets. I recommend Michael Deacon’s twitter stream (mentioned in the article) for a good running narrative.

One of the better tangential ones:

Good old Nige - when reality disagrees with your viewpoint, deny reality.

The battle of the Thames has been a rare moment of joy in a referendum that alternates between horrifying and depressing.

Where did you hear this?

Non-British readers need to know that there is a political party called Britain First which is part of the loony right.

Why does that not surprise me?

I’m not British, but agree with POTUS both that it would be in the UK’s best interests to remain in the EU, and in the US’s best interests if it did: Barack Obama says Brexit would leave UK at the 'back of the queue' on trade - BBC News

I’ve just voted. I’m still expecting a Remain victory.
