Friends who fell out over Brexit

It's been four weeks since the UK decided to leave the European Union, and an exclusive poll for 5 live suggests one in eight British adults has fallen out with a friend or family member as a result of the vote.

Frank Etchells voted to leave the EU and has had a few heated discussions with his friend David Pedrick, who voted to remain.

Frank said "It personally upset me that David had a go at Nigel Farage, and I don't like the implication that I don't like Europe as much as David does and that I'm depriving him of his future."

David said "I really saw Brexit as an attack on being part of a global society and being a young adult."

But David said he and Frank "need to move forward" and added "we've got to live with it."
