If we didn't talk about Brexit, Trump, or the driver's last vacation to Florida, all my UK taxi rides would be silent.

Whenever I get a pro-Brexit cabbie I see if I can convince him to switch to remain based on the effects on science and medicine. I ask if he has any family members with a serious health condition (almost everyone does) then I explain what Brexit will mean for research & funding.

How do you get them to believe you?

I talk about my work. Most at least pretend to be concerned about it. Some feign ignorance, some try to change the subject. A couple (I think) I may have convinced to switch. At least something for them to mull over when they go home to the tabloids & bigotry of their daily lives

Most think I'm exaggerating about my work and/or don't react. I think they think I'm just lying? Not sure. They don't seem to be interested.
