Leave obtained 1.8 percent over the magical fifty mark. Now suppose that that just a little more than that majority had voted remain instead. Let's say two percent of the total voting electorate. That swing would have left remain the winnner. Now is anyone really going to argue with me that fewer than two percent of the voting electorate were racist, xenophobic ignoramuses? The conclusion must be obvious: anti-immigration sentiment won the referendum for remain. It was always there in spades anyway and was exploited extremely cynically, dishonestly and successfully by the leave campaign. Disagree and you're in cloud-cuckoo land. By the way, the proportion of immigrants who claim state benefits is tiny when set alongside the numbers of native Brits who do so. In my mum's care home Elena from Italy and Emilia from Romania (to take just two examples from many) are wonderful, enthusiastic and beautiful women who are over-qualified and who have come here to WORK. Their wages are low and they have to sign up for weekend and shift work. I don't know where we'd be without them and tens of thousands of others like them. I think we may be about to find out.
