  1.  @male7097  it was a mixture of people. You don't win a vote of that magnitude without appealing to a wide demographic of people.

  2. The EU, 1)the UK handed them £15 billion and we got £5 billion back. 2)We continually ran a trade deficite, to point were if all we did was trade with the EU we would have no money in the country. It was insane. 3) No EU laws were ever debated in the commons, they were just rubber stamped and most of the laws that did pass often didn't suit England.

  3. "Pro European, Pro communist but definitely anti English" I paraphrase slightly, but George Orwell describing the intellectual left in the UK. It is a form of snobbery and discrimination. You see it in the USA too and these attitudes certainly haven't changed in the last 100 years.

  5. People in England are hugely unrepresented. We have no regional assemblies and often end up for governments we didn't vote for, the tax payers contributed the most to every budget (especially the EU and Scotland). We are flooded by imigrants who hate us and push down wages, are successful businesses are own by billionaires who take all the money abroad and push us onto zero hours contracts, a huge proportion of our laws were made in the EU parliament which no one understood and our MPs and rulling classes consolidated their control and robbed all our money after 2008. Can you see why people voted for Brexit? Everyone is pi*sed off.
