Is the percentage of those voting not to leave the EU to be discarded as meaningless? Is one to pick and choose what news item to pick out and highlight, ignoring equally valid ones that give a different version?

Perhaps I should have said “disappointed” rather than “surprised”.

‘Intelligentsia’ and ‘working-class’ are not mutually exclusive groups or terms.

Both Labour and Tory governments have been guilty of ignoring the poor and the disabled in British society and in part it has led to backlash and protest voting.

But don’t kid yourself that white people in Britain are discriminated against or are suffering under the great shadow of political correctness – unless they are Polish, Eastern European or an EU migrant.
