THREAD: Guys, this took AGES. How Eastenders characters voted in the EU referendum.
DOT COTTON: Leave. Doesn’t recognise “my London” anymore. When anyone points out the amount of foreign people she’s friends with she goes “well I didn’t mean them, dear”.
GRANT MITCHELL: Leave. Postal vote from his villa in Portugal.
PHIL MITCHELL: Remain. For a while it looked like he wasn’t going to get in to a feud with Grant over this but then Grant called him “a Remoaner” in the Mitchell WhatsApp group and now they’re not speaking again.
SHARON: Remain. Always brings it back to queues at customs at the airport which isn’t very relatable to most of the country but it is on salt-of-the-earth Albert Square where the average house costs £700k.
PAT BUTCHER: Remain. Surprisingly good knowledge of Harold Wilson, the EEC and the three-day week. She didn’t just learn it all from The Crown season 3 like most people.
FRANK BUTCHER: Leave. Considered it pure treachery when Wilson went from neutral on joining the EU to positive about it following the general election. He and Pat had strong disagreements over this which is why they initially split up.
PEGGY MITCHELL: Remain. Regrets the time she welcomed Boris Johnson in to the Queen Vic, now wishing she’d “nutted the twat”, get outta my pub etc etc.
BIANCA: Leave. Very keen on the theory that all politicians are liars and she doesn’t trust a single one of them. Was going to vote Brexit Party on December 12th but they’re not standing in her constituency so Farage is a traitor to her now too. Will now vote Tory.
SONIA: Remain. Begins every comment about Brexit by putting a hand to her chest and saying “as an NHS nurse” and all her points are valid but people sure are tired of hearing them.
MARTIN: Remain. Posted earnest selfie of himself holding his burgundy passport the day before the referendum and friends are still giving him shit for it.
STACEY: Remain. Thinks raising her eyebrows and telling people “pizza…kebabs…Danish pastries…they’re all from Europe” is a valid point well made.
ALFIE MOON: Leave. When questioned on this he puts his arm round whoever is asking and says “let’s just be friends, yeah?”. Shakes his head whenever he hears a Polish accent.
KAT SLATER: Remain. FBPE Twitter account. She didn’t just become a BIT of a Remainer, she became a TOTAL Remainer.
IAN BEALE: Leave. Sweats with regret every time he thinks about it. Refuses to vote Labour but desperate for a second referendum. For a while went round saying that "Boris Johnson will get us a second vote, mark my words" but he didn't believe that and neither does anyone else.
BEN MITCHELL 1: Lexit.
BEN MITCHELL 2: Leave. Furious that No Deal hasn't happened yet.
BEN MITCHELL 3: Remain. Very angsty about it which translates in to anger and he has punched many walls and two entire buildings since 2016.
BEN MITCHELL 4: Leave. Voted by shooting a gun through the window of the polling station and it went straight through the ‘Leave’ box but he was aiming for Remain and now Phil’s really disappointed with him.
Thank you for enjoying this thread. To keep me in the lifestyle I've become accustomed to (muesli for dinner) and just generally support my bullshit why not chuck me a dollar or two a month on Patreon. It makes Nigel Farage angry if you do. https://www.patreon.com/SoozUK
