I've met many supporters of Brexit in local pubs here in London, I don't think it's that uncommon. I've had work colleagues that argued for and voted for Brexit, here in London. We had fun conversations on the topic, changed our opinions on many points, but still ultimately agreed to disagree. In the meantime, the media helped polarise the debate by making it about them hating those damn "forriners" on one side, or the EU being akin to a stalinist dictatorship on the other side. The "gammons" to the right, the "remoaners" to the left. I think the issue is that most progressives in cities in the UK live in progressive bubbles and are unlikely to come across people with very opposing viewpoints on a daily basis. They're also quite arrogant, which is something I've noticed amongst friends (most of whom are progressive). I'm a non-white EU citizen (forriner to the average brexiteer in a village pub) living in the UK so it's already a matter of fact that the majority of people I speak to are of a different identity. If anyone gets their information about a group from what the media reports instead of from actually speaking to members of said group, then they ought to reconsider their views.
