Doh!
My mum and her fella would @The Outsider, they live in the North West. I can't even tell you my shock horror last week when she told me and said "we were lied to"; I was like, no shit you were, I told you that again and again and again.
She thinks there should be another vote now people are more clued up, my reply was, why the hell would you ever vote on something so important that you aren't clued about?
It isn't that strange. Nearly everyone I know doesn't give a crap about Brexit, it isn't in the consciousness.
What is interesting to me is how NI are so content given the fractious political landscape and the high levels of relative poverty there.
Perhaps to do with the homogeneous communities with very strong cultural identities, similar to how Israel always appear so high up on these kinds of indexes?
Some ideas

Didn't migrants in N.I get attacked a few years ago, maybe why they are so homogenous?
Not strange at all. Just continuation of an ongoing long-term trend that began long before the referendum and has persisted since. What really will be interesting is what these data show after Brexit actually happens because up until that point it’s been business as usual. Something else that isn’t strange is the uptick in anxiety that coincides with the referendum and the absolute shambles since.
What really is strange is why so many people felt the need for radical change when data like these show a steady improvement in psychological wellbeing over the last several years.
It's the age divide innit. Older people are far more xenophobic than younger people and essentially voted to kick out the foreigners. Maybe the people reporting higher levels of happiness are just less likely to vote, but the age divide is much better supported by stats.

Doesn't look like this is going that well....
Too many of the establishment have their fingers in EU pies, they are hoping they do not have to leave with sticky fingers.
The fact posts like this are intended to be an actual response to a thoroughly thought out piece like the one Silva posted is a huge part of the problem.

Companies possibly leaving NL for London

Unilever is likely to be consolidating its HQ to Rotterdam, moving jobs from the UK to NL.
From your article, those two big companies were already in London and are considering their position in the UK as it is. Hardly a positive pro-Brexit article.
I just watched the dutch news mate, feel like contradicting me?
Yeah sure.
Has Corbyn said anything about closing the tax havens?
Tbf, Royal Dutch Shell is weird in being an anglo-dutch company which til recently had split boards with one in the UK and one in the Netherlands. Not many other companies have that structure. It's also one of the biggest dividend payers in the FTSE 100 and would get crucified by investors if it cut it, even if they are paying it out of debt, so it's in a bit of a unique position and not really indicative of wider trends.
Good that he has commented yet noticed:
UK could impose direct rule on tax havens, says Jeremy Corbyn
With reference the above posts maybe this kind of thing is what was discussed at this meeting which took palce on Wednesday ?

That's how being a colony must have felt. No wonder my grandfather voted for independence.
I suspect the colonies would have given a kidney for half the autonomy Scotland has.
And I guess Scotland will now give a kidney to have the financial autonomy the likes of Malta, India and co has.
Its no co-incidence that the likes of N Ireland and Scotland are financially hooked to England. If they ever leave the UK then they will be heading for a hell of a ride just like we did.
Not after Theresa enshrines our leaving date in Law?
Its taken Lord Kerr along time to find his voice, why didn't he speak up before parliament voted for article 50?
He's been saying this every few months and I have posted it here every few months. Keep up granddad.Not after Theresa enshrines our leaving date in Law?

Im interested to see how she intends to pull that one off, given that half her own party think she's mental.

I find this ironic and suggests an EU army, the very thing UKIP was accused of scaremongering.

Is Nato a worldwide army?
Unilever too
This has been openly discussed for years (Eurofor was set up in 1995) but was held up by the UK. Not really a good idea to change the foreign policy we'd had for over 300 years. We are now more isolated as a military forcé, with a 500 million strong nuclear power on our doorstep.
