I'm sure that's all in jest, but I do find the tendency of Leave campaigners generally to label those who supported Remain as 'equality loving liberal globalists - aka the regressive left' quite simplistic. It's something you have done a couple of times, calling Remain supporters urban university educated liberals over the weekend for example.
I supported the Remain option. That makes me neither a liberal nor regressively left. I have voted conservative for the last three decades and am passionately patriotic. And I'm as far away from being a middle class urbanite as you can get.
Similarly, portraying Leave supporters as all right wing thugs wearing England shirts is simplistic. Many of them are university-educated urbanites themselves, rather like your good self
