Wait... does this mean that the soy-latte-sipping cosmopolitans are the real racists? And that Brexiters are the real anti-racists? That a vote for Remain was a vote for White supremacy and xenophobia!?

I still think Brexit is by far a positive development. For starters, the British government will have a harder time buck-passing to the EU when the voters decide they're fed up with them in some way. National governments are far more accountable when there is no supranational entity to which they can point and say: "Look, it's really their fault!" The blame for immigration cannot really be passed to some other group anymore. Only the British government and people can be blamed every time shit hits the fan, not some bureaucrats in Brussels.

Another obvious benefit is that at least all of the Nigerians and Pakis and whomever else who were still coming under the EU at least can't travel around Europe as easily. Britain can keep its shitty 'minorities' to itself.

Largely agree. I voted for Brexit even though i support the idea of a united Europe in principle. The modern EU though is an abomination which I want no part of... & leaving was a blow to the establishment.

The Conservative party now no longer have anyone to shift the blame to r.e immigration except themselves.
