I'm happy to say, and it actually makes me feel more united within this country than I can ever remember, that the vast majority, be they Tories, Labour, Brexiteers, Remainers etc seem to be part of the latter group.

There's an unspoken attitude of "even if it's not me/my parents/grandparents it might be yours so let's do what needs to be done."

There's a lot of different political viewpoints on here for example but I get the impression that the vast majority of us hadn't even considered protecting the economy over the people as a viable option, which is why it's so jarring when some people try to push it.
