Mostly anti-immigration sentiments.

  There is also powerlessness in front of change (that hit every other EU country, save maybe the nordic ones) and the feeling of declassment, that you're not middle class anymore. The UK might feel it more the last one than other EU countries though. I only went to Leeds and London, but the build quality of non-bourgeois houses is not good, almost US-grade imho (not a dig: you don't need good windows/insulation/coating when you're living in California, you do when you're in the UK). Which is a problem when the house wasn't refitted in 50 years. It's not ultimately the EU fault, but it failed to uphold the promise of citizen protection and growing together at the same pace. Also, Brexit made EU a lot more resilient and refocused on citizen/consumer protection (despite the "but think of the children" crowd trying its utmost to pass the dumbest laws in the world).

  Also self determination. Wanting the country run by British idiots rather than foreign ones.
