    I don't think it's that simple. The working class have never really had much of a problem with immigrants, historically they've had to mix and get on, and on the whole, they have. Places like Ebbw Vale have had everything taken away from it. It was once a proud hard working town where the people were progressive and in employment, jobs that meant something and benefited the local community, and a nod towards education in order for the next generation to better themselves. Successive governments took that away from them citing economics as their excuse to take away any power these people had, when the industry was abandoned then so were the people.

    The EU means nothing to alot of people who are third generation poor and have had any form of motivation sucked out of them, to many, being poor is all they know and all of the disadvantages that go with that, not just educationally but health and living standards. When people are desperate they make desperate decisions, doesn't mean they're stupid
