Hope you manage to get some kip @SDAddick. Could be many sleepless nights for all of us, but I suspect/hope he will be reined in from his more extreme plans at least.
Been up for the last 3 hours following this with ever growing trepidation. The world shook their head at wonder at us over the Brexit vote. Right back at ya America!! Ten-fold!
And the comparisons with brexit are already getting boring, were both countries where you vote for a chosen leader/decision, and the majority vote that. Or do we just keep voting till we get the vote that the more educated (in there opinion) want? Maybe they can have a peaceful demonstration tonight about it
I can see the American cities kicking off tomorrow night. If it happens London youth will do the same.
What good does it do? They gonna keep rioting for 4 years huge case of throwing there toys out the pram, like when they kicked off over here weren't so brave when they got to Eltham.

We're and their!!
Sorry @palarsehater that's very petty of me. I don't think I am more educated. I support the democratic right of all - doesn't mean I like it. Potentially, Clinton could poll more votes & lose the presidency.
@TelMc32 no bother about the grammar it's early and no coffee yet, no issue with people having an opinion but why are they labelled idiots the same as brexit voters.
Lasted till 0330 and went bed with an odd feeling that it might be going a bit Pete Tong. Just woke up and frankly can't believe what's happening. Actually, I can. The world has gone mad. Hell mend us all. And they've screwed with Toblerones. Shakes head and goes back to sleep.

Because the left are shitting themselves the realisation that us regular hard working, working class folk want and will get change is frightening to them and what do they do when they shit themselves and don't know what to say? They call names

I don't think they will get change. It's going to be very uncomfortable when white working class, blue collar workers realize that the manufacturing jobs from China aren't coming back. I don't call names. I am angry and frustrated that the center left party does not understand that we need some sort of solution for a workforce who have seen their jobs go overseas or be automated or just not be needed in the modern world. And both parties have left them behind. That, unfortunately, will not change now.
That makes up roughly 0.004% of Americans, and the only report of the matter I've seen.
Yeah I would be cautious of reports like that. The Trump victory party is in the middle of Manhattan, it's unlikely that you would get those kinds of chants there for many reason.
Let's be clear though, there were a lot of people who voted for Trump because of their hatred of Jews, Muslims, Gays, transgender people and women.

Well that's the strangest thing I've read regarding the election!

There is a lot of truth in that. The middle class left obviously despise much of the working class they claim to represent. I don't think it's just the left leaning politicians who are shitting themselves though.

Potentially good news on the Toblerone front. The reduction in the amount of Toblerone in a bar was blamed on the fall in the pound. Given the dollar fall, they should reinstate the full amount of Toblerone per bar. Every cloud has a silver lining.

The Labour movement that gave a meaningful voice to left wing politics was all about working class folk fighting for change in their favour. Why would I, as a person whose political stance is generally left of centre, be scared of working class folk? I am one myself, as is my wife and all our family.
What I'm scared of is a world where people think that foreigners and ethnic minorities are all to blame for their problems and then vote for millionaires who've never done a hard days work in their life because they've swallowed the hate filled lies, and over simplistic solutions that have been spat at them with barely disguised disdain by yet another bunch of self serving politicians who are using the people to get what serves them best, not what serves the people best.

In their opinion.
If you didn't want Brexit and Trump you would have known that...
