I hear turnout will be very high in Northern Ireland. I'm worried, because let's just I know alot of racist people here. I'm not joking.
You mean xenophobic?
Nope. They just hate the ethnics.
It's my community, I know exactly what they're like.
NI is the least diverse part of the UK.
Then I am afraid voting out will not end their problems. Are they even aware that Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Nigeria are not in Europe?

Nope, but the leave campaign did post leaflets through people's doors with a map of the EU continent, where the only marked countries were Turkey/Iraq/Syria.
This is all about inflammatory comments getting people riled up, regardless of whether it's true or not.

Blimey... Ignorance and hatred getting manipulated. 
Now trending on Twitter: #dogsatpollingstations How cute.

I asked, the question do I just put it in here?
In my defense though, I tend not to vote in NI elections as explained.

Less than 2 hours to go.
Voters stranded by rail problems
The problems at London transport hubs could potentially affect the ability of thousands of people to vote.
Waterloo, where there appears to be no service at all, serves 90 million passengers a year, which is about 250,000 a day on average (although the average obviously includes weekends and holidays).
Cannon Street, Charing Cross, London Bridge, Victoria, and probably other stations have also been affected. They are all major commuter stations with many people likely to have left for work this morning before polls opened.
The Rail Delivery Group says among the train operators affected are Abellio Greater Anglia, Gatwick Express, Southern, South West Trains and Thameslink.
Among those stranded is the broadcaster and journalist Sian Williams.
