Hard News: Interesting Britain!, in reply to BenWilson,
ow does it usually take to count up?
Should have a good idea by your mid-afternoon.. Turnout apparently higher than normal, so counting will take longer than normal.

Hard News: Interesting Britain!, in reply to BenWilson,
I'm still amazed that they would have let a single referendum decide such a thing.
Who's this 'they', white boy? You can leave 'me' out of it, thanks.

George Osborne suggests Theresa May might have to resign. Ouch.
Not like he has an axe to grind, or anything....

caning the SNP in Scotland?
Do you know something we don't, Mystic Tom? As of typing, zero seats have declared north of Newcastle.
-
It did insofar as UKIP has essentially been wiped out in the first two seats to declare. There's not much point voting for a single-issue party once the issue is done and dusted.

Hard News: Stupidity and ignorance have…, in reply to Stamper Stamp,
just trying to shed a little light on the reality of "Global Warming".
Personally, when I want a little light shed on the reality of global waming, I ask a climate scientist. I'm afraid I don't really expect huge amounts of illumination from an anonymous commentator on publicaddress.

Speaker: The Brexlection, in reply to Ben Austin,
...although an increase in overall vote share/turnout for Labour over the 2015 Miliband result might get the Blairite haterz and wreckerz to STFU. For a day or two.

Up Front: What's the Big Idea?, in reply to BenWilson,
the average house price in the UK is only £215,000 pounds. Way more affordable than NZ.
Not really. The UK's median wage is around £27,000, give or take. The typical upper range of what a mortgage lender will provide, for a couple, both of whom are earning the median wage, is between £135K and £189K, which still means a hefty deposit (probably from the bank of mum and dad).
And the usual caveats apply. The average house price in London is between £500K (1-2 bed flat), and £630K (terraced house). In Brighton, it's £390K; in Cambridge, it's £500K; in Milton Keynes, it's £273K; in Bristol, it's £287K (with the exception of Bristol, these are all cities generally in the SE of England). If you go somewhere like Hull (north), then sure, it's £119K. But there's a reason for that (no-one wants to live there, and the median wage is considerably lower than the overall UK median wage, at 19.5K).
