Maybe it'a because the Brits (as in the civil population) never really got to experience the horrors of war for the last 200 years, at least. I live in an Eastern European country, and each and every village around these parts of the world has a stone monument in the center-village area commemorating the names of those that died in WW1. Lots more died in WW2, but because that happened as we were fighting the Soviet Union no monuments were erected while we were under communist rule following WW2.
Talking about communist rule that was the result of WW2, just today I learned from my father that one of the hardest things for my parents raising me as a kid under communist rule was the central heating and electrical power would go out at the same time in the middle of winter. Now, imagine raising a 3-old kid while there are -10 or -15 degrees Celsius outside and for you with no way to warm your apartment (as an aside, I think that the fact that Cuba is a tropical country was one of the main factors of Castro staying in power for that long, when you don't have to fear that your kids will die of cold then you become a lot more acceptant).
In comparison, the EU, with all its quirks, is like heaven on Earth. The Leavers deserve whatever is that will come to them, even if they didn't know what they were voting for.
