A few days ago, Milo Yiannopoulos filmed a video ad for Brexit, standing next to a stream in the Alaskan wilderness. As light rain began to increasingly pelt his $3,000 suit, "God Save the Queen" could be heard on the soundtrack.
That heroic effort probably won't be enough.
Though many polls have Brexit ahead, Predictit - one of the leading prediction markets - has Brexit trading at only 26 cents. That's 3:1 it won't win.
From what I can gather in the various comment threads, there's a lot of cynicism that in a close vote, the "establishment" will figure out some way to tilt things.
We'll see.
Notably, tomorrow is also the 17th of Ramadan - the anniversary of the Battle of Badr - a day that Jihadists hold close to their hearts.
According to the Koran, it was on this day that Allah told Muhammad to "make great slaughter on the land" and massacre his captives.
Happy Feast.
