Wouldn't that mean they washed them? I was never a student - except for day release when I was 16 and 17 - but I thought students didn't do such things.

If the UK govt (ex-brexit) continued 'index-linked' pensions to support those previously living in EU ... I think there would be a case to index-link those others living in countries without the the same privilege.
I suggest the agreements would ALL have to be re-negotiated.

Not really. The UK already has bilateral agreements with many non-EU countries regarding state pension payments. If the UK pulled out of the EU (and the EEA as well) then it would presumably negotiate a bilateral agreement with the EU/EEA as part of the Brexit divorce settlement.

The final opinion poll ahead of today's EU referendum has given the Remain campaign a 10-point lead over Leave.

The Populus poll, carried out online and before voting opened, shows remain on 55 per cent and leave on 45.

Looks like it's been a lot of fuss over nothing

Tweets update, they will always find a way to win "Gov"

We’re getting some reports around the country of people who say that they have been turned away from election booths.

They include people who turned up, polling card in hand, only to be told that their name was not on a list to others.

It’s hard to gauge at this stage how extensive those problems might have been but I’ll try to look into a few of those later.

I had a polling card for where I last lived, could have turned up there, but would not have been on the list, so it is possible if you have recently moved, and with UKIP saying not to use pencil because 'they' would erase your vote and replace it with a 'remain' vote, they being the government and MI5. There will always be those stories, it even happens at general elections and locl elections. There are so many conspiracy theories going around about rigging the voting. One fact about those turned away, were they 'leave' voters or 'remain' voters or a mixture. I suspect the gap between the two will be of the order of 7 figures, so the few would have not made any difference, but, hey, it's a good idea to get your excuses in well before the result.

As a counter-conspiracy theory I received two poll cards for this election for different election districts so I could have voted twice if I wanted to.

It's funny watching the BBC. They basically said that anyone with a university degree voted to remain, everyone else voted leave.

And Scotland. If you take Scotland out of the equation, the vote wouldn't even be close.

So much for polls, eh?

Now the question seems to be: when will the EU force Britain to vote again, so they get the 'right' result?
