'Do you think people who voted Leave are thick?' - BBC Newsnight

The town of Boston, Lincolnshire voted 80-20 to leave the EU; Lambeth, London voted 80-20 to remain. Emily Maitlis brought voters from both places together to discuss their decision - and what the way forward should be for the UK.

Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.

Can we get these people together again to discuss how well they think it's all working for them?

And how about the millions of British people in Spain who never bother to learn a word in Spanish, sorry I meant a word apart from ' cervesa' (which means beer).

[dobythedog]

Pitch the posh accents against the working class accents. Always a winner with the BBC.

"i just want it to get boy, did it get better!! al those nationalities living there and not a word of now they're all gone, moved out, not coming back, so you got your language the dole, cause these companies they worked for are no more, cause they got no more employees.

[andersbodin]

Well now the NHS is saving tons by having a staffing shortage.

[peatcakes]

No, I've met them, I don't think they're thick I know it as fact.

[pauldilley]

Not all leavers are thick. All thick people are leavers though.

Why don't you interview the 1/3rd of graduates who voted Leave? Or would that wreck your line of Brexit=Thick?

"I just hope it goes forward and sorts itself out" - Oh, I'm sure it will darlin, I'm sure it will.

Nina Scudder from Boston - EU trade expert and socio-political commentator extraordinaire - just "wants it to get better" whatever the fk that means...

[johnb]

Well she comes from a farming background so they’ll be short of farm workers now, Thick or not

If Brexit has taught me one thing, it’s that there is a serious inability in the UK to hold an adult conversation without being offended, over-zealous or pompous. Both sides were guilty of all of the above and it’s what has created a divided and poorly run country.

The video is a shorter version, the full version is when Angie says she wants out of the EU due to Indian immigrants.

[petecox]

I hope all those who voted to leave live long enough to see the mess they’ve caused! We have a country that’s divided and hasn’t a clue what the future holds!
Covid and Brexit will together will cause a huge social and economical old and it breaks my heart to see us a war with each other and my grandchildren paying the price!

Leave Voter: we wouldn't need interpreters in the NHS if it weren't for immigration!

You also wouldn't have a functioning NHS without immigrants. You're far more likely to be treated by an immigrant than delayed by one.

[BLUESKY-ztnv]

oi Blabbermouth "Some of them carn't even say hello in English" ....you forgetting something English living in Spain ..Some of them carn't even say hello in Spanish

[krileayn]

Yea we are thick, thick balls, that's why we're not scared to go it alone.

[raybo]

Yes. They were thick. No doubt about it. I hope they're happy now.

[fredgrove]

Bet those 2 remaners are in EU funded positions, and scared shitless of losing the gravy train.

[larryfisher]

Still crying and a pathetic attempt to dismiss a democratic vote. It's offensive.
