The brexiteers are happy to blame everyone but the government for the perceived injustices they think are being perpetrated on them. Their right-wing pals didn't control immigration when they said they would so now it's the EU's fault, and they're quite prepared to throw the baby out with the bathwater by excluding people we need in our universities by restricting freedom of movement and borders on science and research for the sake of a few Eastern-European workers whose jobs no Brit wants to do anyway.

All this feeds into their nationalistic delusions of 'taking back control' on the day the government refuses to tell us what sweeteners the taxpayer will be stumping up to keep Nissan in the UK, the pound is tanking (higher prices for us plebs, here we come) and a quiet exodus of service industries (especially financial) is underway.
