    Hedge Funds have been allowed to carry out exit polls AND use the data for trading. (The common man looked after once again)

    Anyhow, apparently they'll have decent data by noon and a solid idea of the result by 6pm. They aren't allowed to publish their data but if you look at forex etc later today then you'll know and can bet accordingly.

    Corrupt as f.ck in my opinion but there you go.

    So what would indicate which result?
    Mass selling of the pound equals a leave?

    Whatever the 'city' will profit. So this ******** about leave being bad for financial services etc is bull.

    But yes, the £ will fall if it's leave, but I think the scare stories and Farage have worked and we'll be trapped in a corporatist neo liberal nightmare.

    I don't see how leaving would change that given the likely successors to Cameron?

    Well of course there will but they can do a lot of damaged in the remaining 4 years they'd have

    Well the last time they tried to slash benefits the much criticised House of Lords stopped that - and anyway, for at least 2 years we'd still be in the EU whilst we negotiated our exit. This blind panic that's been put in people's minds is quite dishonest imho.

    Possibly but I also think the 'everything will be fine' rhetoric coming from the leave campaign is very misleading and very similar to SNPs approach in the Scottish referendum.

    I might have gone off on a tangent there but that what the BBS is for.

    Tangents are good. Cosines are the sneaky fckers.

    On a more general tangential point - the blatant contempt the public are held in by politicians and commentators has been brought to the fore in this whole debate shitfest

    It's all irrelevant, does anyone seriously think as a nation we will vote leave. It ain't gonna happen. Bookies generally u can get 5/1 on us leaving, odds on remain.
    Of course feel free to remind me of this tomorrow but u know it ain't gonna happen.

    Agree the SNP had people believing they would be minted with all that oil revenue , bankrupt before they even got started if the vote had been for independence

    If anyone asks how you voted, just tell them the opposite.
