Having noticed that, during the run-up to the referendum, when news programmes interviewed people in the street a lot of people who were obviously not native British were against the EU and predominantly because of (further) immigration.
At the time I thought this odd and rather selfish of them but did not give it much credence as I put it down to the media's reporting methods.
However, since the result there are people on here who have similar views and have said they have recent non-British forebears. Now Sooey has joined the discussion with similar views.
Could it be that the vote was lost because of the views of people who are recent (since the war ?) arrivals who wish to prevent similar people enjoying the same chances that they had.
Would other vehement anti-EU posters like to say whether they fit the description or, indeed, if they do not?
