The original British contingent in that area then went from having a community of knowing everyone around them to having a street full of limited English speaking folks, with their own community and with values completely different to ours (for example burka wearers).

We then ask those folk if they want a change to a more responsible system and they get ostracised and ridiculed by the folk who haven't had their communities altered in this way. It beggars belief that these folk can't think beyond their own circumstances and think about the reality! That's the reality of immigration and Brexit.

We need a change in the way our economy works, from constantly flooding it with people to keep the costs down and become more self sufficient. Many countries have a tactical, responsible immigration system and the fruit still gets picked.
Interesting point of view, apart from the demographics don’t really back up your perspective. Generally, areas with more immigration were more likely to vote remain, such as London where I live - or most large cities in the UK.

The areas who largely voted leave were the opposite, areas which hadn’t been ‘flooded by foreigners in their droves’. The North East, Wales and Cornwall for example.

So although your point may apply in some limited situations, on the whole it’s not typical of why people voted the way they did. Do you think immigrants are risking life and limb to flood north wales or similar areas where these is no work? Yet these areas voted to leave overwhelmingly, probably because they voted very naively and bought into every con from the Leave campaign going.

At the end of the day, if you voted to Leave it really wasn’t a very intelligent way to vote, as has been proved since 2016. And if you’re now whinging about immigration, then it especially hasn’t been worth it.
