The idea of the thoughtful and forward-thinking people being dictated to by old people, northerners, the uneducated and bigots is what appals me.

Bloodying the governments nose, but being the ones who really feel the effects of a recession caused by us leaving the EU? Do these people not have the power of critical thought?

You may well be right that more people will vote Leave in Leeds, but don't think that only seeing Leave posters means in itself you're in a minority: the nationalists made that mistake in Scotland because all they could see were pro-Independence posters. A silent majority is just that.

I cycled to work this morning through a never ending sea of LEAVE posters and placards. I didn't see a single one for 'Remain', although someone had spray painted 'HATE' onto one placard, a small act of defiance.
Round these parts (Leeds) I think it's seen as manning the barracades, a chance to defy the enequality of the north south devide. I've told people that this is not the right battle ground but they say it's the only battleground they've been offered, the only chance to voice dissent from a crooked system. I agree with them that it's a great chance to bloody the government's nose, and part of me wants that, but is it worth biting your own nose off to see this happen? I don't think so.
Everyone I know round here are voting Leave. I am definitely in the minority.
