It's hard being a Leave voter in London" - Lucy Harris writes for Spiked-online
"I never suspected, when I put my tick next to ‘Leave’ on my ballot, that the fallout from Leave’s win would be so visceral. It is worrying that there has been so much antagonism towards Leave voters. Old ladies, MPs and Leave donors sent death threats; people reporting the break-up of relationships; people having trouble at work and getting abuse online..."
Founder of Leavers of London writes for BrexitCentral; 'Shy Brexiteers? Not us Leavers of London!"
"You’ve heard of the shy Tory, but have you heard of the Shy Brexiteer? If you’re reading this, perhaps you yourself could be one… but I can assure you, it’s not helpful to the Brexit cause.

Among them were ethnic minority voters, undermining the caricature of Brexiteers as ignorant uneducated racists." |
