BE VERY AFRAID, NAJIB: THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE - BREXIT WINS, POUND IN FREE FALL, CAMERON EXPECTED TO QUIT

BE VERY AFRAID, NAJIB: THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE - BREXIT WINS, POUND IN FREE FALL, CAMERON EXPECTED TO QUIT
Britain's Independence Day'
We are leaving the EU and Brexit is happening.
Vote Leave confounded the polls and experts and surged to a victory that has sent shockwaves around the world.
Nigel Farage, the leader of Ukip and key figure in the Leave camp, hailed the result as Britain's "independence day".
Farage: Let June 23rd go down as our Independence DayPlay! 02:28
Britain has freed itself from Brussels "without a shot being fired", he said, drawing criticism for insensitivity.
I now dare to dream that the dawn is coming up on an independent United Kingdom.

The pound in freefall
The pound slumped to its lowest for 31 years as the result became clear.
The currency tumbled to as low as $1.3460 on Friday morning. It fell about 10 per cent from the 2016 high of $1.50 hit just hours earlier.
Uncertainty over the vote's outcome has kept world currency markets on edge.
Investors scrambled to sell the pound, oil and stocks as Britain took a lurch into the unknown, becoming the first country to quit in the EU's 60-year history, a culmination of decades of suspicion over European aims of creating an ever-closer political union.
Future of the Union thrown into doubt
Not the European Union (although its future is certainly in question now like never before) - but the future of the United Kingdom.
The SNP said Scotland "sees its future as part of the EU" and Sinn Fein called for a vote on Irish unity following the Leave victory.
The result means Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's First Minister, will now come under pressure to call a second independence referendum.
Declan Kearney, Sinn Fein's national chairman, delivered a strongly-worded statement in which he stated English voters had "dragged Northern Ireland out of the EU".
David Cameron 'to make dignified exit'?
There are reports that, having lost the referendum, the PM could step aside. He is due to give a statement later on Friday morning.
Questions are being asked as to how he can remain at No 10 when more than half of the country has defied him on the biggest political decision for a generation.
James Kirkup writes that Mr Cameron is heading for a place in history as the Prime Minister who gambled with Britain’s place in the European Union and his own career, and lost.
Or 'Save Dave' - whatever the result?
However, Eurosceptic MPs and Cabinet members signed a letter addressed to David Cameron, urging him to remain as Prime Minister regardless of the referendum result. The letter said he had a “mandate and a duty” to continue as Prime Minister
The letter, which was organised Tory MP Robert Syms and signed by Vote Leave leaders Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, was delivered to Mr Cameron as the polls closed at 10pm.
Labour soul-searching begins
A senior Labour MP suggested he might punch "tosspot" Ed Miliband over the state he has left the party in. Chris Bryant hit out when the former Labour leader appeared on the big screen television at the Stronger In referendum party, where he was being interviewed live.
During the course of the tense night, some Labour figures blamed the Scottish National Party (SNP) for low turnout in the country.
The turnout was huge
People turned out in their millions to have their say (33,568,184 to be precise) on what was the most important vote for the country for a generation. 72.2 per cent of registered voters cast their ballots in Thursday's referendum, the Electoral Commission said.
In 1992 - the highwater mark for participation in recent general elections - a total of 33,614,074 people went to the ballot box - 72.3 per cent. Thursday's referendum narrowly missed beating that record.
Lindsay Lohan: Kettering where are you?
The American celebrity provided some light relief as the votes were announced by sending a series of tweets about the EU referendum:

The Mean Girls actress needed some help, however, with locating Sunderland and Swindon:

Good time to fly
Ryanair launched a 24-hour sale with flights to European destinations as low as £9.99 to celebrate the EU referendum.
One million flights to European cities between October and November are on offer in the sale to cities such as Cologne.
And what does the rest of the world make of it?
In one word: "Anarchy"
