This is how I see it too!
The mainline media and social media are accusing all 'outers' of being racist, right wing, ignorant idiots. Being called a racist is the worst insult anyone could throw at me. I want to welcome those escaping real and dangerous conflict in all parts of the world and others who genuinely seek better lives for their family and will work hard for it. We cannot do without people like this in the NHS and elsewhere. I do not want to be forced to accept criminals and undesirables simply because the EU says we must. That is not racist - it is a matter of ethics and morality, culture not racism. IMO that is at the heart of the rejection I hear from many. I voted out and I am happy to see that the majority have had their say and the fraud, corruption and financial mismanagement that threads through EU bureaucracy is now more likely to be exposed. We need to ensure that the rights of workers and other benefits/legislation, that came about by being of being part of the EU, are protected, but the rest of the stranglehold is now broken. That can only be good, although the 'money giants' , financial gamblers and purse string holders will be jumping up and down for some while. I think we all know, sadly, where the real power lies, but they are shaking in their boots this morning.
