Caroline, people on the street, people who work, people who have opinions that are ignored, mainly blue collar working people who got fed up with having their jobs and livelihoods being undercut by people from the Eurozone who were willing to work for far less than the accepted rate. All very well that the middle classes have cheap gardeners, cleaners, etc, but hard working people had the rug pulled out from under them, plumbers, carpenters, builders. I'm talking about the little person, not the corporate companies. Of course they loved it, cheap employment, more profits. The PEOPLE on the street hated it. It affected their livelihoods and their finances. In London we are very multicultural but still people were pissed off with being undercut, unless they were business owners. Outside London is not so multicultural and yet communities were flooded with EU incomers, affecting schools, hospitals, housing. It's not that we don't all have friends from the EU, just that there was such a huge influx in such a short time, it worried people. And I'm talking about people from many different countries who have been living here for a long time, it worried them too. It was obvious and make very vocal for years, but our politicians hoped it would all go away. Well it didn't.
