Are you saying that those who voted to leave because of immigration issues were ignorant of what they were voting for?
- GordonS 7y agoSome, not all of them of course. But some believe any old shit that vile hate rags like the Daily Mail bombard them with - let's not pretend that xenophobia and ignorance don't exist among voters in the UK.
