As someone who lives in a village with one of the lowest crime rates in the whole of the UK (and still much, much lower than the typical small town in 1950), I still do live in that environment thankyou.

And it's in the North, a place, we're told is full of angry people desperate to vote UKIP to save the world.

Fair enough.

Well, outside DS people from all walks of life are just continuing with their lives. Families and friends all getting along because they know that everyone has different views and as such arguing about them is pointless - people rarely change their minds or viewpoints.

Yet on DS you have Remain voters telling posters that they hate Leave voters, they won't even associate with leave voters in their lives.

I believe that in reality, division and hate is a media tool to create anger. The vote was taken, the result was reached. But, people are just living their lives and waiting to see what will happen. For now, we have calm. But, whatever the judges decide, half the country are going to be incredibly angered and that is when the trouble will start.

What ever the judges decide does not change leaving the EU, so why should there be any trouble ?

It was explained on the News. If the judges rule that Scotland must vote on A50 before Westminster, there'll be anger in England and Wales. If they don't, there'll be anger in Scotland. If A50 is allowed to be triggered by RP then some claimants can potentially take the case to the ECJ and cause more instability. Gina Miller has said though that if the Government wins the appeal she will not take it further - as have the Government. If NI are granted permission to vote to block it then there will be anger and unrest in England and Wales. Not everything is as straightforward as you suggest.

Surely you mean not as straightforward as the government thought. Gina Miller has done nothing wrong. Its all down to the government that were the all blame is. My be the government needed a better legal team before and after the vote

After Brexit: How Do We Go About Uniting The Nation?

The grown ups from both sides unite to make the most they can of the situation, in business and within their communities. Over the next couple of decades we vote in governments that support good social practice on education, housing and health alongside the economy, and swiftly kick out ones which don't. Perhaps old party lines will fade.

We all accept that passing time will more and more isolate those still kicking and screaming as people peel off the "I love EU" bandwagon until they are just a footnote of history, which is what will happen. All things must pass.

There has been nothing stopping us do that so what has that to do with leaving the EU?

Who do you suggest voting in?

Oh you're spiteful as well. Why don't you just send him a Christmas card and hope he forgives you for wanting to remain?

You seriously and truly would sacrifice the love of a brother because he has different political viewpoints to you? Really? I couldn't give a flying fig how my brother votes. His vote is what he thinks is best and it's up to him to decide. I could never ever fall out with anyone over how they vote. Life is way too short and love is in short supply. And you think Leavers are the ones with problems?

First bit - it relates to the specific point of OP of how do we unite in the unique circumstances of Brexit. By the majority making the most of the opportunities and battling the difficult bits, with how they voted no longer playing a part in it all. Time will heal a lot, but some people with rigid personalities will just have to be dragged along with the rest of us.

And who knows who we will vote in - Brexit could lead to new parties, anything is possible. It's time to stop thinking narrow horizons.

Voting out is the very best example of thinking narrow horizons. Isolation rules uk

Well I have to say Wizzy that here we have finally cut all ties with the racist / sectarian end of the family over what they said on phone and f/book about Brexit. It was bad enough leading up the vote, but since the result things worsened to the point of no return. Married in members of my family were directly referred to in a disgusting racist manner and their original family culture denigrated.
Basically we should have apparently voted Remain so that more white Catholics come here instead of (deleted). But there was history here as they had been offensive in the past.

But no ties have been cut with closer family and friends who voted Remain, and like you I can't imagine how that would happen. We are all happily getting on as usual, but then there was nothing personal in it, whereas Trevgo seems to take everything about Brexit as a personal insult.
There are more important things in life for most people.

This type of thinking is the Achilles heel of Remain, I'm afraid. Brexit forces the country to stretch itself and constantly look outwards.
