Perhaps one of the biggest geopolitical events of a decade shouldn't have been on HN. The irony of you talking about Londoners throwing out toys, then locking your account because one story got through that you think is incorrect... it's delicious.

Just one more point.
I actually don't think that "one of the biggest geopolitical events of a decade" should be on HN if it is not directly connected to Tech.
Here is a more fitting article to be on HN: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/06/24...
There are plenty of other forums for talking about this subject.
In the past, i've found HN Comments about political issues to be of the least quality/value.

A fair point - i have removed that part of the comment as it is not massively connected to my main point. Also, have an upvote
It's quite funny to see the commentators who never saw this result coming are now the ones with all of the explanations as to why it has happened. Watching them evolve a new narrative in real time is quite funny. Apparently 50% of the country are racists, or so stupid that they have been easily duped by the bad politicians. There couldn't possibly be any other explanations.
