That stuff you mentioned is to a significant extent indeed related to class and income. Are the business middle-classes of North Yorkshire really any different in attitudes and behaviour to their counterparts in Surrey? Conversely, are the working-classes of Essex and Kent really so much more individualistic, stuffy and reserved than their counterparts in Merseyside and Lancashire?

It is said that Scotland voted for remain because the SNP encouraged members to vote remain and also Scots have very little experience with immigration, most Scots don't actually go and spend much time in English cities that have high amounts of immigration so they don't notice the impact much.

I spoke to a man who worked on railway stations in the north of England and in the southern commuter belt, he said that the obviously well off northerners had a more open manner than ones in the south, i would say certainly Essex etc has more of a sink or swim attitude, almost a sort of Calvinist and Puritan attitude about matters, they are friendlier and quite polite but they don't have the same inquisitiveness and perhaps open nosiness that people in the north have.

There is an element of that, although Glasgow in particular has plenty of ethnic enclaves nowadays as well. However, I think Scottish attitudes towards themselves and the world are different from the English, whereas of course London voted to Remain due mainly to its cosmopolitanism and its heavy dependence on foreign trade and finance.

Are Scottish attitudes that different? i can't imagine a blue collar Dundeeman having very different ideas from someone from Sunderland, they might support the EU because they feel that it doesn't make a negative difference to their community because barely any Europeans will go there anyway.
