What about the democracy of the many Asians who are British citizens living in Britain - does democracy not cover them? Jim Carroll Yes, indeed. Many of them voted in the referendum, and many were interviewed on TV and made clear their intention to vote for Brexit. One doesn't need to be racist to realise that unrestricted immigration is likely to upset the current balance in this country, and prejudice some against those immigrants who have already settled here, and integrated well into their/our communities. The Brexit vote was not so much against immigration, as against unrestricted (or uncontrolled) immigration. Of course it suited the Remain camp to be able to paint those who wished to leave Europe as xenophobic, but lies were told on both sides of the debate.
