You're clinging again, to xenophobic/racist stance for anyone questioning immigration. We're all scared of foreigners etc.
To have that stance, we would be insisting on a Trump Mexico wall, or a reverse of Hitlers Atlantic wall.
I have not seen one thread in here, that wants the draw bridge pulled and for us to live in a bubble because we're scared.
All the Brexiter's woted out, because of unbridled/uncontrolled immigration. An open door policy, in which anyone from within the EU can simply walk in. It costs all of us, in services/housing/education/Medical/job pressures(for the low paid) and many other reasons.
Certain parts of the country have had enough of seeing their communities changed and standards of living lowered.
Now I guess you're an educated man. Have a decent job/home/area of living. Pretty much as most politicians have. It doesn't hit/slap you in the mush on an everyday basis, as it does others.
So please, drop this labelling/badging stance that Gordon Brown was so famously caught out with, as soon as he thought the cameras and microphones were off.
That is the fear that folks had had enough of. Seeing their lives turned on their heads, not simply because Europe decided plonk themselves next door.
I would point out, that whilst you're putting down your fellow "Brits" for not developing. The countries involved here, Poland/Hungary/Romania etc, show far more isolationism and racism than you can dream of.
They are on a collision course with the EU for refusing to join in Merkels mad policy of adopting the middle east and Africa,
The far right is also making itself known, in greater numbers.
Yet the hypocrisy of these nations, who have flooded most of Europe with migrants, is quite frankly laughable.
Basically, "what's your is mine and what's mine is my own".
So if we are so bad, try pointing out the EU farce, of all this.
I'm sure most folks in this thread, do not want an end to immigration. They want control- in numbers/quality/fairness.
That is all and you may not agree to that, but the voting said more than your camp did.
(PS still not the reason I voted out, it was the EUSSR deciding which way this county was going for me) But you knew that.
