What was the british publics view on the appeasment policy in World War 2?

During the actual time of the appeasement, most of the British public agreed with the appeasement because it looked each time like the movement by Hitler was the last thing he wanted. No one wanted war, and Chamberlain felt after meeting with Hitler, that Hitler could be trusted to go no further. However, that soon changed and the british public knew they had been lied to by Hitler.

However when they were on the battlefield their attitudes changed dramatically.

Why was the Zimmerman note important to World War 1?

Upon decoding the Zimmerman telegram, U.S. citizens’ attitudes toward the British softened, while their attitude toward Mexicans and Germans hardened. Many U.S. citizens, according to Michael Neiberg, began to see the British as allies, and Germans as enemies. This shift in public sentiment helped ease the United States’ entry into World War I.


Why did kristallnacht turn british people away from appeasement?

I don't think the assumption made in the question is accurate. Following the Kristallnacht the British government eased some of the restrictions on allowing refugees from Nazi Germany to enter the U.K. This was done for humanitarian reasons and in response to pressure from public opinion. This is not the same thing as saying that people 'turned away' from appeasement. Generally, historians see the Nazi seizure, in March 1939, of the 'rump' of Czechoslovakia left after the annexation of the Sudetenland as the key turning-point in attitudes towards appeasement. Within two weeks Neville Chamberlain gave Poland a verbal guarantee of assistance if it was attacked by Germany (though the actual treaty with Poland was not worked out till later); and in April 1939 the British parliament passed legislation for the reintroduction of conscription (compulsory military service). This was the first time that Britain introduced conscription in peace time.
