Talks about who has done well and who hasn't in England. When the vote was being tallied, you could see the regions around London and the SE going "Remain", and the north and western areas going "Leave".

But I was talking about what I actually heard and saw on BBC television. Very interesting town halls where the fault lines on the issue completely crossed traditional left/right boundaries. Even the immigrant community was divided - the Indian and Pakistanis were less enthusiastic about "Remain" than the EU immigrants... a lot of the "racial hostilities" were more "white on white" - of course most of the EU immigrants are Caucasian.

When reporters interviewed people in the smaller towns outside London, people pointed to a familiar theme here: loss of manufacturing jobs, with nothing to replace them. One couple pointed to a statue in the middle of a square that had been constructed with "EU money" - but noted the increased unemployment.

Almost everyone said they would respect the vote and not redo a referendum. Already markets have calmed down (predictably), and none of the other EU countries want to retaliate against a major trading partner, so it doesn't appear to be quite the apocalypse that the alarmists were predicting. Many on the "Remain" side conceded that they needed to be more mindful of those displaced by loss of manufacturing, and the sense of helplessness. All in all, a more polite, restrained response than you would expect over here.
