White working class and ethnic people do have higher amounts of immigration in their areas though. It's about a class of people who no one cares about. It's about them being forced out of areas because of immigration and gentrification. It's about white working class having no opportunity, particularly boys. It's about the class system, being very much in force still............ Why shouldn't they be angry, this country has never given a shit about poor white people.
In most cases, white working class areas don't have much EU immigration - the reason being that immigrants go where the work is, and these are areas which having lost their industry, deliberate Thatcherite policy, haven't developed much else to replace it. I used to live in North Staffs - i.e. with Potteries, Textiles, and you may be surprised, Coal mining, as three of the industries. The first two were beginning to lose out to global competition in the 1960s, and having worked in the textile industry, I would put it down to poor management and lack of investment, because most of the workers were conscientious and hard working.
Needless to say the coal mines have now gone.
I don't think immigrants have forced anyone out of these areas. Indeed with house prices being cheap, and some delightful country in N Staffs they could be desirable places to get a start on the housing ladder, but you need work. I don't see the Tory Government sending any task forces round the country to find out what skills people have and making a push to get industry to come to those areas.
I agree that the powers that be haven't given a shit about poor white people, and I am sure that for many the vote was a protest against Cameron and his wealthy chums. Well, it's backfired, because the wealthy people in May's Cabinet haven't got a clue as to how to bring wealth into the country (other than tax havens), or how to relate to ordinary people. Phil Hammond does at least acknowledge that.
