Jo	Plus, those who want to 'break free' from the 'control' of Brussels should sympathise with those who want to do the same with respect to Westminster. Call me cynical, but I suspect that when people who have a problem with European migrants imply that they would welcome more immigrants from Commonwealth countries, they really mean Canada, Australia and New Zealand rather than Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria, or the multitude of other non-white countries in the Commonwealth.

Wanting to break away from the EU is more xenophobic than racist, in my view, (though the Leave campaigners didn't exactly go out of their way to distinguish between EU immigration and immigration from the rest of the world) and based on the myth that the EU (of which the UK is a part and enjoys special privileges) controls us (see link about EU myths above). Wanting to break away from xenophobes and/or people who happily side with them seems understandable to me.
JK2006	I think many of those who voted LEAVE did so because they do not want foreigners entering the UK and taking our jobs and money in benefits. Let then stay in camps in Europe. I think that is a bad attitude.
SpectrumIsGreen	Please explain to me how wanting to break away from the control of the mainly white European EU is racist but wanting to break away from the United Kingdom is okay? Uncontrolled immigration from within the EU means that we have to imposed greater restrictions on those coming from outside i.e. non-white people. Surely greater control of our own borders means we will be able to open up to more immigration from Commonwealth countries. Too many people seem to confuse the EU with the Syrian migrant crisis which has been exacerbated by open borders.
JK2006	Yes whilst I do believe many who voted Leave did so for other reasons a) there should never have been a referendum on so trivial an issue and b) the main thrust of the argument against was NOT economic as it should have been but immigration which, in many subtle ways, involves racism.
