the mood in your area
 

This is a non political question about your area's mood on Brexit.
I contributed to an opinion thread in the Guardian yesterday and I was surprised when someone said that there was now a sense of "good feelings and sentiment" towards the EU.
I live in a heavily anti EU town in a heavily anti EU county and from what I can tell the mood here is that the EU is the enemy and attitudes are hardening. I am not saying whether it's right or wrong but it's in stark contrast to what the other reader was saying (and I don't know in what part of the country he dwelt).

So, what's the mood in your area? Good feelings towards the EU?


(please, no leave/remain arguments)

Attitudes are hardening. People are realising that what the Leader of Malta said right at the beginning is true, that we cannot be allowed to leave with a deal and be better off than staying.

staying in Scotland that was 62% remain and 32 of the council areas.

it fully depends on where i am when asked.

where i stay in a medium/deprived council area i would say most people i have spoken to dont give a shizzz and are happy we are leaving but when asked why they voted leave the answer is always the same.. immigrants, even though most of the Europeans i see are all working.

in the more affluent circle or friends its the complete opposite and they want a remain but understand about trade and how its maybe going to affect business.

both will admit though that we are just going to have to wait till its done then suck it and see. only trouble is that we will NEVER get to join again.

Seeker, what did you expect, writing to the Guardian, that bastion of pro-EU lefties.

Re: the mood in your area
 

A lot of fake news being promoted by remainers stating that people coming around to the idea we would be better off staying in EU. Have these people in their bubble not seen the way that EU is treating the UK with utter contempt, or do cheap flights overrule national sovereignty in their minds. No one that I speak to has changed their mind about leaving a political ideology dressed in a thin veneer of trade that thinks the answer to everything is more Europe, more centralised control.....

there fixed for you ;)

this country is obsessed by media and the more lies the media tell us the more the people believe it. at one time people read between the lines but now people just jump on the nearest bandwagon and dont do enough research to know whats right or wrong due to being fukin stupid.

I live in London which is a cosmopolitan city and voted strongly to remain. Most people I meet have not changed their minds. Me? I agree with London.

Re: the mood in your area
 

If there was a second referendum to accept the deal on offer or remain in the EU I believe remain would win but not by a huge margin. I see this issue as more of a tribal/belief thing rather than a rational decision which is why few people change their minds and that only happens over many years as demographics move. So we are where we are which is up a shallow waterway without paddles.

It's interesting, that's all I'll say.. Might be speaking in Euros soon

Re: the mood in your area
 

now remember that Westminster has said that you will remain with the UK :rolleyes:
