To be a legend (or leg-end some would say) in your own lifetime takes some doing, but I might well have managed it

Re: Referendum to blame for ill feeling towards immigrants?
Referendum was NOT about immigration. That's a white wash bit of propaganda being pumped out by the media (esp BBC).Immigration has been an issue for years and has had the negative effect of pushing down basic wages and other problems.
The constant linking of the referendum result with immigration is wrong, it's a cop out, a cover up and is being done by people with an agenda.
Referendum was about saying no to Brussels. Saying no to giving up our sovereignty, saying no to giving up our justice system, our laws and regulations and to the overall corruption of a minority elite seeking more power and wealth. Not immigration.

Eu is to blame for a lot of it as are our governments they have made much of assimilating other cultures but have not given any dignity to being different or to being English, you can be Welsh, Scottish, European but not English a lot of us feel.
Whist Scotland, Ireland and Wales needed no encouragement to rightly and proudly display their national Flags at every opportunity, the English were blatantly accused of racist overtones the moment we displayed our flag of St. George.
Those who would call us racist were not ever going to see beyond their sanctimonious noses that the complaint over immigration was simply about space not race.

When you think about it it all boils down to immigration - right across Europe. Nothing else comes close to it. Every argument regarding leaving the EU is intrinsically linked to immigration. Therefore 'immigration' is the sole problem with regard to the voters across all of Europe. There isn't any other other concern that can generate such social unrest. It will be immigration and only immigration that will ultimately change the EU. Immigration supplies a tangible enemy that people can vent their spleen on. All the rest of the concerns are as nothing compared to it.
Can't control immigration = can't do so because of the EU.
The above will be the defining thought that will ultimately destroy the EU in my opinion.
