> Give it a few years post Brexit and economic hardship and you'll have them lining up in droves. Scapegoating is a tried and true pastime. I could see that in theory, but what kind of economic hardship are we talking about? In the world that led to the World Wars, everyday life for poor people was closer in comfort to the life in the trenches of the front than to everyday life for your average western European of today. And lots of people were poor. By contrast, even an unexpectedly sharp post-Brexit downturn would probably just mean slightly more unemployment, some missed promotions. It's hard to imagine the UK would fall back behind, say, eastern European countries like Poland where people on average aren't rich, but can live an alright life.
