To be expected and deserved that he resigned.

What a political error. As PM he almost lost Scotland and now will go down as the man who unexpectedly took UK out of EU.

The face of the Etonian elite who have lead the country to uncertainty and possible chaos.

The Count in process

Live

EU referendum results live: Brexit most likely outcome says leading pollster

from the Telegraph live feed.

Results seem to be showing narrower wins for Stay or larger or unexpected wins for Leave.

Working class/Labour areas so far, more for Brexit.

Looks increasingly depressing.

Euro 2016

England denied by Russia’s last-gasp equaliser in Euro 2016 opener | Football | The GuardianEngland looked to have won through Eric Dier’s goal when Vasili Berezutski equalised in injury time to earn a draw for Russia in Marseille

 

The action has started. Friday night was the opener in Paris with France playing Romania.

We have been accessing the action through alternative routes. Primer TV is showing some in NZ. Sky has the rights but is showing it on a specific channel so not through our Fanpass subscription- as Sky Sports internet access.

So we have used VPN to access ITV sport and will do the same to watch on the BBC.

So far so good and an example of technology overcoming the rights lock-down that is hard to maintain in the modern world.

And as far as the football was concerned-England looked good, capable but lacked control. Should have had the game in the bag before the last minute equaliser.

 

Opera experiment

A family trip to the opera on Friday this time to see The Magic Flute.
A novelty as it was sung and spoken in English. It was an experiment as Eleanor and Isaac came too.
We have seen a few operas and this was not necessarily the best that we have seen. As it was a little long and the story not quite so easy to follow as is usual.

The music did not have the same individual impact on me as is the usual case.
