Obviously voting Leave does not make someone racist but there are a LOT of thick people out there who will see this as a green light to be hostile towards anyone they don't consider 'British'.

Under the (Strasbourg I think) agreement, EU migrants will be able to stay here, so I guess that there will be resentment aimed at them by some people.
We can expect many more immigrants to come here now that they think the door will soon be closing. I wonder if our Government could/would break the freedom of people rule if we do actually start the process of coming out??
I say if, as I still don't think that we will actually come out.
The referendum isn't binding, just advisory to Parliament.
The pound has slumped as predicted, so I believe that the PM will say that this shows the vote was wrong.
I think that Cameron will then go back to get a better deal, even though the EU said that they wouldn't entertain this.
Europe cannot afford to let us go, because if we do leave Europe, this may encourage other countries to do so and the whole thing could well collapse.
