If we're discussing personal experience, I'd have to say that my experience talking with other Brits has been that there seem to be two consistent points raised favouring brexit:

1. Foreigners. They take jobs away from real Britons, and drive wages down.

2. Bendy bananas. The EU restricts commerce and growth through oppressive regulation.

Although as a matter of factual public record, both are highly questionable assertions.

No flaming, please. I'm not saying these are the only reasons for brexit. But from my experience, these seem to be the overwhelmingly most common objections expressed by those I've discussed it with.

Bipat its not the immigrant vote that should concern you, but those who voted brexit because that have concerns or worse about " all immigration ".

However that was not high on the list of my reasons for voting out, posted many moons ago.

What does concern me more is why some people keep banging on about it?

These people frequently refer to others as racists but I feel that they themselves are very strong racists afraid to come out of the closet. By bringing the subject up over and over again they fee6l the are stirring up anti immigration reactions from others without without having to admit their own true feelings.

Yeah, but it's overpopulated with Brits. The UK, like everywhere else, is overpopulated with foreigners.

Fred you are not living on a low income sink estate , in a town with a high immigrant population .not from the EU..
This thread is about a post brexit UK, a UK where the reasons why they voted brexit will not go away?
These traditional labour voters can no longer be relied on and are being targeted by the right.

My true feelings have not changed from the days I joined anti nazi marches, I got into fight at school against those who targeted immigrants.
The days I saw Asian shops burnt, or fireworks and dog shit put through the letter boxes of Asian homes..
Those who did those things are still around and probably still think the same.
Brexit voters to a man.
Rather like the economy thriving ,I hope that after brexit the right will fade away , but I fear that it will not.
