politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » A big thank you to those who’ve contributed to the post-referendum appeal to help keep PB going
It has become something of a PB tradition after big elections for an appeal to be made for funds to help keep the site going. This year we’ve been fortunate to have had a robust enough technical infrastructure to deal with the massive traffic that was being generated. Alas this requires a lot of effort (thank you to my son Robert) and costs money. Quite a few other sites fell over at times.

Wish I could read all the posters!
Everyone's saying "wait to see what will happen", but the story of the next 1-2 years seems to be likely to be the big rise of a muscled far right. Unlike many on here, I follow morale and politics in the British army, and I can tell you that the army was around 80% pro-Brexit and that many believe that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria will soon spread to the streets of Britain. For the first time in my life, I am in favour of left-and-centre popular front.
Commentator "Arsenal paid 30 million for him"
Lawrenson "Sterling?"
Commentator "Doesn't matter now"
Mike - So it wasn't all claret, there was some true blue in the Smithson family as well!
Like most bettors on here, I made a large sum of money on Thursday night thanks to this.
A special thanks to @AndyJS for his spreadsheet. It was gold dust.
Get over it.
As for the anti-johnson stuff, jeez. He and Gove got millions to vote for their vision in parts of Britain where tory is a four letter word. On scant resources.
If that's not electoral success, FFS I don;t know what is

Why on earth should we listen to you now?
What a bunch of babies.
@C4Ciaran: Man's t-shirt reads "Welcome to Britain now fit in or f*ck off". Tells me he's got his "country back."
I quite enjoyed http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/36629976 though :-) Love the arrogance of the metropolitan London lefty types... "Wales and the North, that's us!!" But it isn't you. You might vote the same way sometimes, but they really aren't you.
1-1 against Poland.
It is now up to Johnson, Gove and the new insurgent majority to deliver.
The Beeb are pretty unbiased, maybe it's you that isn't?
Tuesday's European Council meeting, imagined:
"So, Mr Cameron, has the UK decided to withdraw from the European Union?"
"Ermm... I am not permitted to say"
When I have spoken to my No-and-Leave-voting neighbour, I will report back here.
Illegal overspending by the Tories at the GE, £350million/week to NHS 'mistake' by Leave.

Most Labour voters on hearing him resigning where in this mode:

Trading range 2014 = 1.205-1.287
GDP Growth 2014 = 2.8%
Current price = 1.23
End of the world? Obviously
Well if Cameron will let him, Mr John O. Already they are backing anybody to prevent Johnson delivering on his vision.
Theresa May deliberately sat out the whole campaign to feast on its entrails, like a political vulture. That's what Cameron wants? Get lost, mate.

He's well within his rights to say that the government is unable to accept or reject the advice of the electorate until his successor is appointed by the Queen.

However you're cheating a little in using the GBP/EUR, since both currencies were hit on Friday. GBP/USD is the better yardstick.
Remain areas had the lowest turnouts in the country.
Not many people are passionate about staying in the EU.
Newham 59.25%
Manchester 59.77%
were the only ones under 60%.
[Edit: the Electoral Commission got its CSV results file very quickly.]
That was quick.
Which may well be accurate, but I'd have preferred to have been granted the privilege of making my own determination.
The latter was down 3% on Friday but the FTSE 250 down 7.2%.
1-day trading tells us nothing much yet (just unwinding the wrong Remain rally), this next week I'll be happy if we avoid further large falls but I'm holding my breath for now.
Many voted Tory because they didn't want a Miliband/SNP government, which seems to be the accepted reason that the Tories got a majority. It may be the case that some Leave voters voted for the reasons you stated and are regretting it now.
I'm afraid that it's tough, we have decided by a 3.8% majority to Leave and only Boris can save us now.
However, I'll reconsider when it reaches 10 million ;-) !
On another issue: Donald Trump's response to the result was lower-key than I expected, and it hasn't done anything for him at Betfair.
Gibraltar 3.4%
Hackney 14.0%
Lambeth 14.4%
Camden 16.4%
Haringey 17.3%
[...]
East Lindsey 52.9%
Havering 53.0%
Castle Point 54.8%
South Holland 55.5%
Boston 58.4%
Article 50 is not about formally advising anybody. There is no kabuki about it: no Black Rod, state procession or I spy strangers. When Cameron notifies the Council, that will be it in law.
As I said before - it is the liberal left blowing a hissy fit because they are emotionally immature and incapable of accepting adversity.

Another false narrative being pushed I see....There was no problem getting the vote out, it is just they didn't want to follow the official party line.
