I'm off to a BBQ tonight with my Third Floor Gallery buddies, most of whom are Europeans living over here. I know we planned it so it might be more in order of a wake, if the worst comes to the worst, but I'm almost too embarrassed to show my face.

I'll go, naturally. But... gngh.

One of the blokes at work said the other day that he was going to leave a bit earlier yesterday so he could vote, as, "We need to kick all these fucking immigrants out".

I'm certain that 90% of people voting leave will have also held that view. Nobody can ever convince me otherwise.

I hate this country right now.

for other reasons. My point was, as you we ll know, that countries of a size with us, and indeed smaller, have been able to achieve trade deals with all and sundry without having to rely on a supranational institution to help them.

The next Prime Minister is about to speak now.... He's got his SERIOUS AND LEADERLY Boris face on.

EDIT - He's being all nice about Cameron. He says he's sad that he's stood down. LOL.

Wales is totally fucked. And they voted for it.

Absolutely. And what happens to London? Scotland will look to join the EU before we leave, N Ireland may very well join the Republic. But London has been fucked over.

I think it’s very unfair to characterise “leave” voters as crazies and morons.

Agreeing with you, however at least him and Gove were sounding vaguely normal just then, while the odious Farage keeps banging on about "Independence Day" and such.

Sturgeon's on the telly now, she'll be after another referendum for Scotland of course.

Meh, I'm going out for lunch with Mrs Hearthly, and then I will drink ice cold Rekorderligs and play cathartic DOOM all afternoon.

And with good reason. Scottish independence voters were told by the In camp that the only way to stay in the EU was to remain with the UK.

But will Scotland seriously go for Independence [with oil at $50/b], and accept EU membership with none of the old rUK opt outs and safeguards re. Schengen, banking and most importantly, the mandatory adoption of the Euro...? Like, will they fuck as like. Walking the walk is a bit different to talking the talk.

Yes, they will. This election has just told Scottish people 'it doesn't matter what you want while you're part of the UK'. Even just the emotional reaction guarantees an enormous level of support for independence.

Something to be aware of.

If you have a parent or grandparent of Irish descent, you can get dual citizenship and thus retain EU membership.

Same applies to Scotland in the event of Scotland going independent and retaining it's EU membership.

So do you lot all have to get new non-EU passports now then?

Yes. My cousin is currently photocopying all the records. Turner and Hooch qualigy through maternal Grandpa. If we can all dual wield then all good.

Eventually, yes.

Stiff black ones ( ). Not those vile floppy EU burgundy horrors.

Oh shit... I have one of those too. It says European Union on the top. Fucksake. And it's expired. Pooh.

Sort of .

I can only get through these first few awful days by eating junk food and crisps and blocking it all out by playing on the Xbox.

I am now in Europe.

You have a Dutch friend living in Dutchland who doesn't blame you for anything

Tell it we say FUCK OFF apparently

I've been literally staring at Mimi's cute Ladybird and Spider image for two minutes now. Possibly too traumatised to have coherent thoughts that I can post.

So... had been planning on going to Berlin later this summer, and America later in the year. Not sure what's going to be happening with my passport now.

Er, who wants to break it to Cornwall?

I thought the Isle of Mann was already not part of the EU?

It's turkeys voting for Christmas. Cornwall voted Leave!

Quite. As much as it pains me to say.

The place is now ruined.

I'll be kind on Cornwall, it's happened everywhere in England with the obvious exception of London (and Manchester to a lesser degree). It happened in the last General Election. People seem to be voting against their best intentions, being overly swayed by what's written by the media.

In fact it almost always happens. It's so depressing.
