Interesting but not a huge surprise.

Based on that, you voted Brexit?

As is it is December I shall respond with a Ho Ho Ho.

Especially as I had to get a new passport as I ran out of pages in my old one.

There are better ways of getting a message across.

Did you know that the majority of people who eat fish n chips wear glasses voted Brexit?

Wasn't there a report recently about "socially isolated groups"?


fish n chips is a foreign import

I have heard people in our local Indian takeaway moaning about immigrants and they effect they are having on British culture.

It seems remain supporters are also more likely to spam Internet forums with endless multiple threads about Brexit.

People in big cities were more likely to vote remain - in small and medium sized towns and rural areas people were more likely to vote leave. I would suggest a sense of community and neighbourliness are far stronger in the latter.

Or is the OP trying to claim people north of England are sad and unhappy and people in Inner London living in flats are all super happy. Really?.

You don't need a stamp in your passport to work in or with EU countries! I doubt you work anywhere else as you spend so much time posting Remaining Rants here.


I would not say that there is any dispute about this!



I live in the North and a clear majority of people I know (and don't work for the public sector) voted Leave. We are all very happy with the decision and our continuing lifestyles.

I see the denigration of leave voters just goes on and on, a bit like the OP and his never ending threads of woe on Brexit.

The quote doesn't mention happiness at all, so the OP isn't making the claim you say they are. More examples of a Brexiter only seeing what they want to see.

My own experience tends to agree with the findings in the study. People who live in a bubble tend to have a distorted view of what's outside it.

Good-O. Turn the lights off and close the door as you leave!

That would be the Westminster bubble then. Especially those who were predicting a comfortable remain win as they had a complete disconnect with the country as a whole outside London.

er...40% voted Leave in London, we're not all well off City types and we have to put up with them as well as everything everyone else puts up with

Refused entry.

As a whole you say? No, this country is divided pretty much down the centre. Brexiters don't speak for all people outside London.

That'll be the staff who in all probability will be Bangladeshi, not Indian.

What's to say it's your view of the world that's distorted?

If you take England and exclude the numbers for Greater London then the majority for leave was 2.7 million so I still say that there was a complete lack of understanding of how the majority of th electorate felt about the EU.

Most of what he/she writes.

I'm still waiting for the post where he blames all brexiters to be paedos and kiddy killer nazis as thats where its logically got to end up

It's the Guardian ffs.

I think the OP is the most isolated human on here, writing CONSTANT threads on a subject he cannot accept the outcome of,, presumably alone in his bedsit , really sad as the majority look forward to Christmas !

Reporting on a study done by someone else.

It's rather amusing to see Brexiters criticise the Guardian when their biggest champions are the Express and DM.

Just one thought comes to mind "Generalisation".

Stop putting people into boxes, as people are complex and have various reasons, driving their vote for leaving the EU. Besides the sample size in that survey is tiny. They are trying to use the views of less than 2000 people, to represent 17 million people's views.


Hasn't the polls and surveys, been proven wrong over the past year? Have people not learned, that we aren't determined by some equation.
