No, people are unhappy and they've chosen to believe that it's because of the EU and East European fruit pickers. In fact, Brexit is going to make most of them a whole lot unhappier, but many of them - even one year and a half since the referendum - don't have the wit to comprehend this.
this is what we have been telling them for years. Look at where it's got us.
And you might have trouble convincing some people brexit is wholly bad. For 15 years two successive governments have done f**k all about runaway house prices and rents. One benefit of brexit? it's slowed that down (in London), and has the potential to slow it down a lot more.
I actually agree with the idea brexit will likely hurt precisely those who want it. It's already causing price inflation of basic goods, which of course hurts the low wage the most. The likes of Clegg have been open about the EU isn't perfect, but of course they, and we, have very little power to fix it. Given that much of the EU wants more integration rather than less, the exact opposite of what britain wants, I don't think staying in and changing it was viable.
Telling people they are stupid worked until about 16 months ago, and it blew up in our face. We need a new strategy.
