Is it just me or the author is just building a narrative and not bringing any fact ?
Of course, it is fashionable to bash Leave voters as primarily racists. But HN has recently published several articles that have much more nuanced analysis and certainly better explanation for similar movements across the whole Western World.
The only real point in the article is that there have been some racist violence, but really not that much.
This article really sound like a sore remain voter demonising a bit the other side. If the author need to let off some steam he should talk instead about how the appalling level of the debate during the campaign and how its success opens the door wide for a new generation of unashamed propaganda driven politic.
- smallnamespace 10y agoI didn't get that from the article at all. It pointed out how modern immigration was a large aberration from Britain's history and also why it lead to such a large reaction. That hardly seems like demonizing the leave side.
