no one is terrorising anyone.

Apart from the campaigners on each side of the referendum.

Basically the whole thing descended into "FUCKING IMMIGRANTS TAKING YOUR JOBS, THATS WHY YOU DON'T HAVE PUBLIC SERVICES"

and on the other "YOU WON'T HAVE A JOB IF WE LOOSE THE EU. YOU WILL DIE OF AIDS"

Sadly people have been conditioned by various parts of the media to just see immigration as the reason for public service cuts. Not stopping to ask them selves, who makes the decision to cut the funding...

And this is entirely the fault of the political class, who wanted to mask cutting public services to pay for tax cuts for the middle class.

And now we have this right fucking mess, which will take many years to un pick, and I suspect will lead back exactly where we were before, just paying more, and having less influence.

Tbh I see the vote as a vote for democracy and self-determination. The immigrant question is secondary. The EU applies enormous political pressure all across the European continent and it's getting really uncomfortable, especially if the vast majority votes for something that is legally binding and your government can't act on it because of EU pressure (which happened here).

You see it as that, because I suspect you've taken a more than casual interest.

The concept of sovereignty is secondary in most cases. A lot of the votes "up north" were based on the assumption that public services are shit because of immigration.
