*BTW, I’ve been using their trackers a lot during the presidential primaries, they’re very good.

Being in Scotland, everyone here voted overwhelmingly to stay in. Also UK scientists stand to lose out on EU research money.http://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/peter-higgs-says-brexit-a-disaster-for-scientific-research-1.2698759
Yes.

That’s what everybody here is saying.
Could it be that all the media, based on London, expected that the rest of the country would vote the way those in the city did? And could the same tone-deafness strike here in NYC and DC for November?

Really scary. Terrified for November.

Yes, I heard that. May well be true.

On Radio 4, the decision to hold the referendum has just been described as the biggest political mis-judgement since Suez.
And yes, this does make the Trump thing even more frightening.

Not really Jacques…. this does not look like any UK political map… except of course the Map of Fear.

I’m stunned.
Terrifying, awful and so short sighted.
Oh, and by happy coincidence, Trump is in Scotland right now. I’m sure he’ll be asked about Brexit. (Last time he was asked, he didn’t even know what the word meant but, when the interviewer explained, he said he was in favour.
The thought of Brexit and Trump getting in is just too depressing.
Clifford Johnson I fear you are correct 🙁
Isn’t that pretty much the Labour/Tory geographic split?
(And who has more votes?)

Clifford, I agree. The fact that you can get away with winning by lying and scaremongering and appealing to the gut feelings instead of reason looks like a blueprint for Trumps plans for the election.
Yep. This might be a rehearsal for November’s disaster.
Yikes!
Aye. A cataclysmic economic fuck up all based on lies about immigration. Unfuckingbelievable.
I dread to think what it means for our scientists.
I do. I’m payed by an english company 🙁
US cannot be bested! Let’s go Trump!
WOW!!!!! Speechless!
Very terrifying.
Hopefully people over here who are confident Hillary can win easily will think twice. We are living in “interesting times”.
Every five or ten minutes over here…. And it is called as leave by BBC, ITV, and sky news so far.
Itv, BBC, and sky news.
So sad.
iTV just called it for Leave. Very upsetting…
In addition to the impacts in Europe I worry what this might portend for the U.S. In the fall. When nativist, racial reactionary sentiments gain momentum it’s never good.
Yes.
The BBC is just forecasting Leave will win.
Yikes!!!
I find myself checking it every half hour. Worrisome on so many levels.
The only good thing about this is the pound dropping against the dollar. Because I’m here (there?) right now. Other than that, catastrophe. It’s like Trump winning the election.
I am convinced that fear leads to irrationality. I vote for hope.

@blakestacey @IBJIYONGI @asymptotia I am drinking mor than the usual quantity of wine.
Indeed. I think we’re looking backwards instead of forwards… on both sides of the Atlantic.
I’m neither British nor European, but the whole thing makes me very sad — yet more signs of the world disuniting.
@IBJIYONGI @asymptotia I feel ill.
@asymptotia yeah, pretty much
Yes, looks like the secession of Scotland and London is on the way? Very scary.
@asymptotia I am literally having a physical reaction
