Cambridge: 'We don't talk politics. The cruel thing is it doesn't affect us'

In the run-up to the general election, six Guardian reporters are writing from constituencies across the country to find out what matters to you and your area. In the second dispatch from Cambridge, Amelia Gentleman and photographer Antonio Olmos meet people in the city's video games industry who feel disengaged from the election but seriously concerned about Brexit

The longer you spend with the entrepreneurs behind the video game industry cluster in Cambridge, the more the forthcoming general election begins to seem a trifling, parochial concern.

Compared with the momentous significance of the vote to leave the EU, next month's election barely registers for people such as Mark Gerhard, CEO of Playfusion, a video game company (pictured above) employing 58 people, of whom about 60% are from the EU. "We don't talk politics here. Almost all of us are disengaged from it. The cruel thing is that it doesn't affect us; if it goes really bad we can change our situation, we can solve it," he says.
