    I’m from the UK. I remember when it happened. I think so many people underestimated how stupid and lost people felt and decided that this was a good action to use.

    Childhood friend of mine said something like, my dad had his own house, granddad had his own house … these immigrants come and live two families to a house … I don’t want that for my kid.

    I was like, I get it … but this doesn’t solve the problem you’re looking for … he needed more Gary’s Economics than Nigel Farage.

      ah…but 10 years later the millions who voted Brexit are somehow blaming politicians. It was a referendumb.

      What was most hilarious was the top Google search the next day after the referendumb in UK was “what is brexit?”
