I'd argue that it most definitely comes from those with the least to lose, unless I'm misunderstanding youThe fear mongering comes from those with the most to lose.

There is trolling, bullying and hate speech. How the hell would they tell the difference between the three? They can't. It'd be based on guesses.
Safe space is an illusion.
The definition of hate speech two posts above is correct but what's annoying is when people want a stop to immigration and than the whole nation is labeled racist. Are you fucking kidding me people?
You can thank the EU for the screw up that Europe's in today.Well, there's a link. See the rise of racist incidents starting the day after the brexit vote.

Dang right they got the most to lose, they're typically the ones that have to live with whatever decisions are made for the longest amount of timeI was talking about the elite, MSM, and leftists.
Most of them should have got off their asses and voted if they didn't like the decision. Hopefully the ones that didn't vote or care are the ones that aren't complaining about the outcome. Oh wait.Dang right they got the most to lose, they're typically the ones that have to live with whatever decisions are made for the longest amount of time
If we're being honest most of the ones that didn't vote probably didn't even know what the referendum was. (The UK Google search statistics definitely back this up in the DAYS before the vote, and even immediately following)Most of them should have got off their asses and voted if they didn't like the decision. Hopefully the ones that didn't vote or care are the ones that aren't complaining about the outcome. Oh wait.
If these claims are true this is an example of idiots. Like any other group there will always be idiots. It doesn't necessarily mean that, that group or that idea is racist. Unless that idea or group is actually racist.There are good points on both sides, but it seems to me a lot of the points in favour of leaving are motivated by tabloid-fed fear and racism. Delusional thoughts that it'd get all immigrants to leave and Britain would be just for the British again. I'm sure there are some economic reasons to leave too, but to me it's better the devil you know.
Still too early to tell of course, but I'm already seeing knuckle-dragging wankers yelling at any non-white in the street telling them it's 'time to go' and chanting 'England Til I Die'. Ironically while wearing England football shirts made in Taiwan, drinking cheap Swedish lager, wearing trainers from China and watching their precious football on a Japanese TV. Because apparently switching their brains on runs the batteries down or something.
That tends to happen when you have an open-door, uncontrollable, unrestricted immigration policy. People get fed up because their jobs are disappearing due to the global economy. That's why they voted Brexit.
That's not going to happen and it's not the issue.Delusional thoughts that it'd get all immigrants to leave

I'm pretty sure you just made an argument for combating and reducing [illegal] immigration, and/or open borders. Unless, of course, you're fine with large companies exploiting workers? You do realise that not all people have a wealth of education and/or experience, the jobs that don't require either still need to be done, and that the people doing these jobs deserve to be given a fair wage, right?~snip~
Not all (or arguably even most, depending on where you live) young people are leftists, and not all older people are centre-right/right-wing. How much of a bubble do you have to live in in order to believe this?Dang right they got the most to lose, they're typically the ones that have to live with whatever decisions are made for the longest amount of time
But Brexit will do nothing for what they have a problem with.
A huge amount of the immigration to the UK is from non-eu countries, which is done via a point system. Something the EU has no say in & could have been tightened up at any point.
EU immigration.
Leave campaign said we can leave and still have access to the EU single market, and get a deal like Norway. Norway's deal has..free movement of people.
Access to the single market=free movement of people. Comes as a package deal, EU has been very clear on this in the past.
So it's either:
Join the single market & free movement of people.
Stay out of it, fully control borders.
Staying out is not likely to happen, one of the points of the leave campaign was we can stay in it, while leaving the EU.
So in the end, it's likely nothing will be done at all about EU immigration and we also lose any say we have in the EU. Doesn't seem like a very good thing to vote for, if that was your main reason.
Of course an American would bring up job loss to immigration. I haven't really been following European politics, but I can tell you that immigration has little to do with job loss, and I doubt it has much to do with leaving the EU. Take our immigration policies here in the US for example. There's alot of propaganda that Mexicans are coming here illegally and taking jobs. Which is why we need a wall. But the reality is businesses are outsourcing the majority of unskilled labor to China. Mexicans will work for a few dollars less, since they aren't required to pay taxes on a work visa, but chinese will work for pennies. Honestly, it says more about your lack of skill then it does immigration policy if you're concerned that the company you work for are willing to commit fraud to replace you with an illegally hired immigrant.
