In her mind, that emotion trumps any argument that many of her grandchildren , nephews, nieces etc work in the supply side for the foreign owned car industry, and their jobs could be under threat. She has a "this was their finest hour - we will never surrender" view of British exceptionalism and repeats "I think we will be alright" to my arguments about brexit downsides.
You should try the "eceonomic chaos and need to buy food from the EU will make Englamd (and mybe Wales) an effective German vassal" line, then.
