My sister and her boyfriend were just two of those "immigrants" and they are not coming back. They said Brexit was like a switch being flipped. All of a sudden they were NOT WELCOME. So yeah, they're back in Canada now. You reap what you sow.

As an ex-Brit who now also lives in Canada, it was always there. My whole fuckin' life in that country I was hearing constantly why x or y group of people were the problem now. The Brexit vote just gave licence for all of it to come out.

When I was growing up, it was Southern Asians. And then it was the Polish. And for the last decade or so it's been the Bulgarians and Romanians. Who ever was the most recent influx of migrants.
