EU referendum

Yep, where else could we house the crown jewels?

We'd be flogging them on eBay within a decade without the largesse that the capital provides to the exchequer, mate.

Possibly. Wales's inward EU investment was going to be cut anyway, just look at the poverty in the less fortunate countries there is only a finite amount of cash and there would be more deserving cases, hence why I'd prefer to not give the cash to the EU to distribute but that's irrelevant now.

I know I hammered on about it in this thread but the mood of the people in Wales was very much to get out. The only thing I arms suprised about is that the Leave vote isn't bigger. I appreciate Cardiff may balance it up but in the heartlands people are quite simply fed up with the European Parliament.

people are fed up of inequality, poor services and a century of industrial decline

Being reported Manchester has less than 60% turnout.

Why haven't they voted?

Where's NI?

Should show Britain biting a bit of Ireland off and a sad Rep. face ha

Rollercoaster stuff this, London helping draw it back.

I did my degree at Portsmouth Polytechnic. Very much a working class town with very little love for students and very, very white demographic when I was there - late 80s.

As an aside, one thing that comes out loud and clear from this vote: Labour is fucked.

I lived in Pompey for a while and there was a lot of immigration and the locals hated it. Never met people so openly racist until I moved to Barnsley.

Nothing wrong with looking after yourself. Just managed to get £500 on both outcomes at 7/5. £200 profit as long as it's not a dead heat!

i guess you could call me a conspiracy nut and anyone that wants independence or autonomy aren't allowed to leave centralised governance. if i had more i'd have bet that too. we'll see
