Tempted to quote Stewart Lee here - but I don't want to get banned.
You're not far wrong though - a lot of people voted leave because they were exercised about FoM - fuelled by lies and rhetoric, which convinced them that all the things that were wrong in their lives, were caused by immigration.
As Will Self said the other day in his real-time humiliation of Mark Francois, not everyone who voted leave were racists, but most racists probably voted to leave.

Can you PM me a link to the quote by Stewart Lee, always keen to learn.
The whole thing is a shambles, and everyone I speak to is bored of it, and doesn't believe much will change.
