Well done finding that link, I note further down the page, the same people also came out with this.



Seems like those Sun voters want our country to 'go down the pan' Very sad.

I'm not surprised.
An earlier Yougov poll found that half of Leave voters thought that Brexit is worth family members losing their jobs.

It' a weird thing, brextremism. :think:

Remainers. Take it easy.

Maybe give it a rest for a few days.

Hugs.

There have been many predictions about what Brexit will do to Britons but an outbreak of a specific psychological condition was not one of them. Some people who want the UK to stay in the EU and have complained vociferously about leaving – so-called ‘Remoaners’ – are so upset at the course of events that are suffering anxiety disorder, according to doctors. Psychiatrists have warned that many pro-EU supporters are acting in the same way as if they were suffering from chronic anxiety, and are becoming prone to anger and despair.

Dr Philip Corr, professor of psychology and behavioural economics at the University of London, and Dr Simon Stuart, a clinical psychologist, told POLITICO that patients could be becoming seeking comfort in demonising the “other” for their problems. They said Remainers were dismissing their opponents who voted for Brexit as stupid and racist – in a sign they were dividing up the population into those who agreed with them and those who didn’t. “On both sides of the debate, there is evidence of considerable ‘in-group’ love and ‘out-group’ hate,” Dr Corr said.

This week, the Government will issue several notices filled with information on how each sector can get ready for not securing an agreement next year. But it is this uncertainty that’s causing Remainers to grow more panicked and anxious – and on high alert for new threats, the psychologists claimed. Act differently Dr Stuart said that there was a “loss of behavioural control” for many Remainers now we’ve taken the decision to leave the EU, which was causing them to act differently. He said for the traditional liberal elite, leaving the EU was “incredibly anxiety-provoking”. He added: “Human beings hate uncertainty… this is something that people living in poverty know only too well.

And now, all of a sudden, the professional, liberal, educated middle class is getting a taste of this. It feels horrible — literally ‘feels,’ because we’re experiencing a physical stress response.” Remainers are not feeling any better by criticising Brexiters, Dr Stuart said. “Trouble is, in the longer term it’s not really doing anything other than keeping us going round in circles, constantly talking about Brexit and winding ourselves up,” he said.

The pair of doctors advised EU supporters to try and not to get “caught up trying to change things they can’t change” and that, hopefully, the symptoms of “Brexit Anxiety Disorder” should subside in the coming months.

Still down to remain supporters campaigning I suppose they did not believe all of the doom mongering before referendum and obviously don't now. Perhaps remain should concentrate more on convincing people of the benefits of remaining in EU instead of constantly saying what a disaster it will be when we leave.

This is a good point. Remain ran such a negative campaign over the referendum whilst leave, whilst it definitely had its sketchy moments, generally focused on the opportunities Britain may have outside the EU.

If I was undecided or easily swayed (which probably covers a large chunk of the population) I would be much more convinced hearing the EU shone on in a positive light, with all the benefits it has brought us, as opposed to just doom mongering which would probably make me tune out and think “lousy politicians“...

Once again repeating the view that all leavers read the sun and are thick. :rotfl:

No wonder you people lost the argument and have been duplicitous in everything that has since passed. You and your ilk are behaving like fifth columnists determined to thwart the will of the British people and damage Britain in the eyes of the world.

I read it differently.


Does that suggest there are some intelligent Sun readers who voted Remain? I bet you don't often see those 2 next to each other.:rotfl:

The Unions are now moving behind a Final Say referendum, which means it won’t be long before this becomes official Labour policy.

As the Brexit fanatics won’t win a repeat referendum, and Theresa May’s policy appears to be to do nothing while praying that she’s forced to hold one, Brexit is looking very much in doubt.

Good, very good.

Prepare for more direct Trolling with 'fake news' and Nationalism via Social Media (it appeared to work last time). I have already encountered it recently on one of my Facebook groups.

You are correct, it should have read 'Delta Poll' participants rather than Sun readers.

I'm not convinced a new referendum would produce a remain result, many people I know voted leave and none have changed their mind. Me personally I would need to know exactly what staying in EU meant as I don't see us being able to stay in on terms we had, also one of the things I've learnt since negotiations begun is EU commission value thier ideals more than the economy's in member states.
