@Fiction Factory: Any MP's watching won't care too much about what ordinary people think. They have their own agenda

Thanks. It was actually TTT that said it

Watched the first part. Seemed fair enough. Can't be bothered to try to find the second part.

I didn't see any racists, nor any making out there were racists. I saw people worried about the population increase, particularly regarding the effect on lower paid job seekers, who find wage's reduced because of extra demand and a willingness for some immigrants to accept a rock bottom wage. That said the first guy sort of spiked his argument by explaining that even though he could not afford them (and the world couldn't either for that matter) he'd fathered six kids.

And annoyance at the priority given to folk who turn up into the country without anything and expect, and get, help in preference to those who are already part of this society, have contributed to this society and are never top of the list for the help they need. The Lady Bountiful strategy.

I also saw leavers referring vaguely to missed opportunities with no apparent ability to even name a single one they thought was missed, let alone something that actually was. But I did agree with one that the vote was based on naivety because, for sure, if folk had understood, and not fallen to the fear stories, then the vote wouldn't have been so close but a 'leave' landslide. The desire to do noting to correct the problems.

The illusion that it was all simply a protest vote. A misunderstanding of how the economy goes up and down and is already recovering. And a fear of the UK splitting up which is just malicious opportunity taking by those who have been trying for it for years, and which are still in the hands of the people as a totally separate issue and absolutely no justification for being coerced into voting for the wrong thing in the referendum.

...opportunity taken by those...

[bazwillrun]

"regain absolute sovereignty"

Neat summary, bazwillrun.
