Reader’s Comment: Brexit was just what the doctor ordered

July 27, 2016

In response to David Keighley: Don’t rewrite history – we voted Leave because of Farage and mass immigration, Colkitto03 wrote:

I agree immigration was a huge factor. The establishment is trying to put a different slant on it all.

I think there was also a more basic (but strongly linked) reason. A distrust of the urban, politicaland media elites that has turned to dislike. A need to punish then and make them take notice. A deep resentment of having all one concerns ignored. Yes this is linked to immigration but it is also a lot more. This strength of feeling is so strong that it overrode economic concerns. The people were prepared to suffer financially to get themselves heard.

I believe the establishment are more shaken by this than they let on.

Brexit was the healthiest thing that has happened to our country in decades.
