I don't know of any family; friends or colleagues who have irreparably fallen out with each other over Brexit. Immediately after the referendum there was a lot of heated discussion but, since then, there has just been a common consensus that the whole shebang has been a dog's breakfast.

I dont know of any family split by the Independence referendum mawbroonsback I know families where one voted NO ,indeed my own son in law did .We all still get along fine and he says that he wishes he had voted yes and will do next time round.He was also a Tory man thought Maggie was a wonderful PM and woman , but has voted SNP since 2014 and although English born and bred...he only moved here 9 years ago...he says there is no likliehood of him moving back south.His parents live in the very South of England and say if it wasn't for Scottish weather they'd move here too

As did the Scottish Independence Referendum.
It is in the (binary) nature of the beast.

on a EU remain site for expats in the EU - so many young people and families saying they do not intend to visit parents in the UK in the future, and no longer wish to invite them to come and stay with them in EU - as they are so upset and shocked at their parents hard Brexit and anti EU/immigration stance- and just cannot face spending time with them. How sad. I didn't always agree with my parents, and do not always agree with DDs- but that would break my heart.
