No-one will ever convince me this isn't partly the BBC's fault either.

Congratulations to some of the worst people in Britain.

There isn't a temperature scale that can measure my white hot fury towards and undying contempt for David Cameron. He should rot in hell. Yeah, that might be hot enough.

yes, I'm angry too

[yahyah]

Agreed. They treated Farage like some sort of tame monkey to start with, gave him oxygen when he didn't have any MPs, and he is now an out of control ...something or other !

Ironic seeing all those happy Brexiters wearing union jacks - as if the union's going to survive.

They've had their fun. I've switched to the BBC coverage now (I followed the ITV coverage which has now finished) and I get the impression that the enormity of it all is sinking in at the BBC now that it's too late.

And one last thing before I drive to work.

I have so little faith in my country now, I think it would probably vote for Trump. So I won't be mocking any dumb redneck Americans for the rest of the year. We really are no better. Not any more.

Just unbelievably stupid, from hubristic top to ugly filthy racist emboldened underbelly.

Joined up thinking is not their strong point.

Drive carefully NonOxCol, there may be some Kippers on the road who've been celebrating.

Does anyone know what Kay Burley's idea of "soon" might be?

Bolsover,Mansfield and Ashfield in top ten "leavers"

[yahyah]

'before 7am' was mentioned earlier.

I'm not going back to bed, probably best to stay up now.

Wonder who leaked it ?

Beat me to it A , http://www.theguardian.com/politics/liv ... navigation" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Was just going to post that.

Probably a result of Sports Direct being in the area.

Cameron is obviously not part of Clegg's alarm clock Britain.

Nothing human is alien to any human, we're all capable of the good and not good. The US is one of this country's greatest
achievements. Of course, the UK has a fine socialist history the US hasn't managed - some US peoples' are bad news too,
end of. Uniquely awful in an awful, unique US way.

Please drive safely. I meant well, in this message, I hope that comes through. I've not slept.

I finally dozed off on the sofa about 5.30. Woke up some time later to see Piers Morgan interviewing Andy Coulson (on what was presumably the disgraced former tabloid editor on disgraced former tabloid editor slot). Farage came on, so I switched over to BBC to find Daniel Hannan. Are these the people we've given the keys to?

Insane, isn't it? It's too absurd.

[TobyLatimer]

Fucketty fuck. IDS, Gove, Far ridge, Grayling, Patel, et al are ecstatic.

[StephenDolan]

Looking forward to the indepth political analysis of which areas voted Leave / Remain v how they voted in the GE.

I'm expecting a lot of BlameCorbyn. Fair enough, given how stupid he was to have the pledge of a referendum in his manifesto. And he couldn't even take his party's supporters with him to support Remain. Why couldn't he be more like Cameron?
Wait a minute....

It seems reasonable to me. Who's the creature tweeting it like it's an embarrassment for Labour?

A Labour source. Singular. I agree, it is reasonable.

I don't blame Jeremy Corbyn for this mess. That blame I reserve for David Cameron. But I can't say that Jeremy Corbyn impressed me. Yes, he did articulate that the EU isn't perfect and I agreed with him on that - but he made too little (enthusiasm-wise) of the good parts.
