Very happy to fly back from my year abroad in time to vote to Remain today. Here's to a long night of results.

tell them to leave Ireland while their at it.
Talking to a bunch of Brits at work this am, all in banking. All of them are voting stay. They got pissed at me when I said if I had a vote id vote leave.
Last poll showed it 52/48 to stay but its gonna be close either way.. May hear something late tonight finally. Polls close at 10pm Greenwich time which is 5pm in the USA East Coast.. Unlike the US political speculators on TV half the night the Brits wont announce anything till the votes truly have been counted.. The votes will be released as they are counted expected to have 80% counted by opening of business in Europe.. I pulled out of the forex markets end of last week other then a few scalper trades because honestly Friday could be brutal either way and theres just no friggin way to tell where its gonna go.. A Brexit could crash the Euro massively and actually cause massive volatility of the GBP on all pairs.. Soros would like to tell everybody a Brexit would crush the GBP but I'm not so sure. Then again he is the same asshole who singlehanded crushed the Pound on his own shorting it so famously many years ago. My only secret hope is that Soros and Adelson end up in the same local ring of hell together when they die..
I voted Leave but whatever the polls say I think Remain will win comfortably. The Leave campaign has been really poor in the last week, just non-existent really, and that has allowed the Remainers to scare people. I heard that even some older UKIP (UK Independence Party) supporters are voting Remain because of fear of the unknown which Remain has played upon. I'm in London and Remain has been handing out jaunty little "I'm In" sticky badges all week at tube stations. They're everywhere. I have not seen a single person wearing a Leave badge. Seriously, not one. The mood has just settled on Remain as the right way to vote. Either brilliant manipulation or just incompetence on behalf of Brexiters, I'm not sure. Ah well, it would have been fun.
i have nothing but sympathy for the 'leave' voters but really, if eu crumbles, the economic fabric of europe would follow suit, and youd be just as fucked as you are now but with less police and social infrastructure to stand between you and the barbarian hoard.
