Normally, I have little time for Duncan, but he has hit the nail firmly on the head here.

He is 100% correct in that it was lower educated / older people panicking over immigration that led to Brexit. I have said on here several times how I heard old people in the voting station queue saying to each other they were fed up with immigrants and were going to vote Leave. Then the next morning the young single mums in the Muslim run corner shop, all cheering...

//"The contempt that he shows towards the 17.4 million is a disgrace, but is symptomatic of a political elite who despise the ordinary people of our country and their hopes and aspirations," he said.// [In Link]

This from Henry Bolton "hits the nail on the head" for me!
Just another one having his cake and eating it.

No Dougie....Duncan speaks the truth....how refreshing in a Tory Minister !
Yes it was the working class Labour supporters wot dun it.

Nice to see you standing united with the Tory elite, mikey.
Mikey spouting his opinion as truth.

I have said on here several times how I heard old people in the voting station queue saying to each other they were fed up with immigrants and were going to vote Leave. Then the next morning the young single mums in the Muslim run corner shop, all cheering and clapping when one of them told the shopkeeper ''We are getting out of Europe so all you immigrants will have to go home''
The story is 100% true and I was ashamed to hear such racism. I have been castigated on here for saying it and told I must have made it up. Unfortunately it was real and I did not make it up.

Danny...I believe that what Duncan says IS the truth.

When I speak to people who voted LEAVE, its never very long into the conversation that immigration comes up. I will continue to believe that xenophobia played a large part in the outcome.
What we have then is a "Government Minister" speaking out of turn, and briefing against Brexit thereby undermining current negotiations. Sack the quisling.
Eddie, Some people may have voted to leave due to immigration but no one can say that was the main reason.I know plenty of us oldies who were just fed up with being under EU control.Please do not confuse opinion with fact.
well if it was a migration tantrum it was the politicians that let it get to that.
@8.36. You were asked to provide evidence the first time round Eddie. Do You live in Rotherham by any chance?
Mikey, believing something does not make it true.

Eddie...well said.

I have also had the same experience, shamefully amongst some of my own immediate family, including the husband of one niece, that has been "unemployed" for 3 years, despite the many job offers that he has had....the job offers which were beneath him to take, because "he doesn't want to work with a lot of Poles"......his exact words, not mine.
How many other ABers constantly quiz people on whether they vote Leave or Remain?




eddie: "He is 100% correct in that it was lower educated / older people panicking over immigration that led to Brexit. " - the breathtaking arrogance of your superior Liberal, we know best, you're to thick to comprehend, popinjay never ceases to amaze me. Yes immigration was an issue but so many other things contributed too. We are sick of being told what to do by an un elected corrupt foreign power, sick of our parliament being subservient to EU officials, sick of our courts getting overruled, sick of the avalanche of ever more silly regulations and of course sick of paying for the privilidge of being under the EUSSR jackboot. Now that's BA mikey!
Most people I know voted Leave and a fair few of them are immigrants or children of immigrants (some of them children of black immigrants if that somehow makes my point any stronger)

I wouldn't dream of asking a stranger which way he or she voted.
Well put TTT.
Question Author
TTT....Eddie and I have had our experiences, and you and others have had yours. As this site is predominately peopled by right-wingers, I am not remotely surprised that sometimes it only Eddie and I that speak up for the REMAIN side.
Ah Mikey, spoken like someone who's never had to work with a lot of Poles.
Completely different dynamic from meeting one in the street or down the shops.
Unless you're fluent in Polish of course.
