Yes people are capable of coming together to support something good / condemn something as horrendous as an attack like that, that would still be the case if god forbid another attack like that happened tomorrow, but it doesn't mean there wasn't a deep-rooted divide in general public opinion LONG before Brexit. Or rather, it has always been there.
