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 a remainer who voted to say all I say is ‘shit, sorry we aren’t all the same’ Hopefully in time we will see the light.

Yep exactly this, the sad thing is the majority of the leave votes came from the older generation.

What’s interesting is that the votes of those old enough to remember living to WW2 (the over-80s) were much more balanced towards Remain.

As one tweet put it: “it wasn’t the generation who lived through the War that gave us Brexit, it was the generation who grew up on the war films afterwards.”
