In spite of efforts to exclude and ignore this fact brexit was sold on an anti immigration/refugee ticket with the intention that a post Brexit Britain (the subject of this discussion) would exclude more foreigners - that was the policy of Ukip and the arguments of the right - it was a racist "let's keep them out" sales pitch that won the votes for this shambolic policy that had sweet **** all else to recommend it.
The result of the referendum debased the British people as a whole when a large enough minority of the population to carry it through fell for the oldest political line in the book - "it isn't our fault we have ****** up your lives - blame those ******* foreigners, so help us get rid of them"
Had Post-war Britain adopted this policy when Nazism was on the rise there would be far less Jews on the planet today than there are - today we demand that refugees from wars Britain has helped to cause should be returned to the war-zones and watch silently as their drowned children are pulled out of the sea
Britain has been shamed by this squalid vote - that should feature in all discussions about Brexit
