SUNBURY-ON-THAMES, England — Britain has been buffeted with high-level warnings in recent days of the grave risks of leaving the European Union without an agreement: A million lost jobs. An 8 percent drop in gross domestic product. Idle factories. Insulin shortages. Capital flight. A plummet in the pound.
But at the Hare and Hounds pub in Sunbury-on-Thames, England, in a neighborhood that voted strongly to leave the European Union, queries about a no-deal exit were met with shrugs and snorts of derision. It was not that the men and women drinking there hadn’t heard the warnings about a no-deal exit — it was that they did not believe them.
“We’ve been lied to so many times, haven’t we?” said Steve Ridley, 60, as snooker balls cracked in the background and a bartender called out crossword hints.
Mr. Ridley, who imports motorcycle parts, predicted that a no-deal Brexit would mean “slightly more paperwork until we get it sorted,” but certainly nothing serious, and there was no one in the Hare and Hounds who disagreed. Darren Smith, on a stool behind Mr. Ridley, called the warnings “scaremongering.”
