The economy is fecked if we leave
It's because the newspapers that many working class people read are massively anti-immigration and anti-EU. When you read everyday that immigration is to blame for all of your problems it is going to have an impact on how you vote in a referendum that is supposedly offering you the opportunity to lower immigration.
I lied. It's dropped to $1.43.
No the point I was making is I doubt a leave or remain vote will have the dramatic effect people here seem to be making out.
I don't think the average person will notice THAT much of a difference either way.

There is a depressing amount of stupid people alive.
I should've gone to bed after the Gilbrater vote, now I'm shitting it too much to be able to sleep.

Pound is dropping like a stone.
Seems almost everyone on the outside can see how terrible an idea this is, but half those on the inside can't.
Will probably drop further. Sunderland margin was a kick in the goolies.
It still can't be worse than when Emerson Thome got Dwight Yorke sent off.
For fecks sake I should've placed that bet when leave was at 3.55 
It's varying like mad, with cash back there. If you're significantly smarter than I am, there must be some easy money in there.
Another recession imo. Just what the country needs.
Nate Cohn keeping me calm for now.
Working class this, working class that - to be honest the people I've spoken with over the last few weeks have been the exact opposite. Most of the working class people I know have voted Remain whereas the middle class and small to medium business owners I speak with have been voting Leave.
Same, I need some hope to get a few hours kip with
That's perhaps partly true...but again, kind of highlights what I mean. Yeah, working class may be getting some false information to an extent, but if you say, "No, you're wrong, you're just getting the wrong info.", then you're not going to make them change what they think, you're just going to further alienate them and drive them to parties like UKIP. We saw that in the 2015 general election with increasing votes for UKIP in several Northern areas. I'm not sure how Labour can address it, either.
I think it will actually make more of a difference than a general election normally does.
Then you simply have no fecking idea what's going on then TR. Sorry, but this vote was really fecking important.
MI5 are fecking useless
Woody should have gotten our transfers done early!
Leave odds closing across the board: http://www.oddschecker.com/politics...referendum/referendum-on-eu-membership-result
Back up to 3.1. Not a fecking clue what to think now.For fecks sake I should've placed that bet when leave was at 3.55
Disagree completely, if leave is successful I think we will be feeling it for a very long time.
Chill out peeps. Just 2 vote margins have been unexpected.
"Two surprises are nearby"?
Can't believe some many people think leave is the right thing for the country, the mind boggles.
Ruth Davidson's speech pattern is exactly the same as Cameron's.
I was hoping no-one would ask me what that meant.
They ran out of tipp-ex.
If we leave, and the economy tanks it's going to be working class people that are hit hardest.
Yeah but Boris has said he'll apologise should the economy go to shit so...
Certainly not the rapid expectations of recession that some here think. Market volatility is one thing but the impact on wider economy and then people lives won't be as you say.
Easy to get caught up in the doom mongering.
GBP/USD is rebounding a bit now. Was as low as 1.42, now at 1.46
Sunderland and Newcastle are nearby to each other.
FFS, you're our polls guru.
Aye, although Farage and Boris will care little about that.
Sunderland and Newcastle...they're nearby.
