Well said, Pete. Sadly it was the politicians demonising and scapegoating immigrants to the UK that got us into this brexit mess in the first place.
Ah, the Jim Carroll viewpoint.

It has been pointed out here many times that immigration was not the sole, or even the main, reason for wishing to leave the EU, an alliance of countries pushing for ever-closer integration, and meaning that the UK would no longer be able to be a sovereign state, was, for many, the reason to exit.
