How would you like to punish them? Smack their bottoms, perhaps?

mmmmm, but I don't know if Brussels allows that sort of thing...?

Lancaster.

Saying either Newcastle or sunderland they always do at general election

Sunderland are normally first at general elections, the count should be quicker for a referendum as there will only be 2 piles of votes

Unbelievably there are so many people who in all seriousness panicking because , shock, horror, they were given a pencil to vote with not a pen, and this obviously means there's someone at the count with an eraser whose job it is to alter their vote. This despite the fact that there are always pencils at every election. You couldn't make it up.

so why councils and not constituencies?

and while I am thinking about can Dave allow us an election to choose Roy's successor as England manager? Why should the FA be allowed to choose when voting would make it much easier for them to listen as tho who we would like?

Because councils have the staff and the town halls to conduct the counts

Because it would mean England being suspended from international football.

Under FIFA rules football associations have to be independent and free from any state interference.

wonder if our poll will be accurate ? 60-40 to remain

Wow Sky saying estimated turnout was 83.7% so whoever wins will have a mandate

First result in.

Lutfur Rahman wins the referendum in Tower Hamlets.
