[QUOTE="Malika, post: 692680, member: 11227"] My own feeling about this - I really don't know it, it is no more than a feeling - is that some people voted to leave who were not rabid, Trump-type ignoramuses but because Britain is a small island that is seriously overcrowded - school classes bursting at the seams, pressure on the national health service, etc. Immigration is an issue not just on fear-based, racial grounds. In saying these things, I actually in no way support them, or the Leave camp. Perish the thought! I just think if more than 50 per cent of the voters voted to leave, not all of them were motivated by hatred. Of course, as Going North has eloquently put it, they have simply shot themselves in the foot and now begins the process (presumably) of waking up to what cutting off from the EU really means - not some glorious, self-determined prosperity but increasing recession and poverty. As well as emotional, spiritual poverty if we can talk about a country having a "spirit". [/QUOTE]
