Strange - I thought it agreed with me when it stated

Which is the same as not undertaking Further or Higher Education...
It is their ham-fisted (or provocative, like the Sun, Mail, Express) way of interpreting what was said...
Here's the actual source data

And it states
Quote:

A majority (57%) of those with a university degree voted to remain, as did 64% of those with a higher degree and more than four in five (81%) of those still in full time education. Among those whose formal education ended at secondary school or earlier, a large majority voted to leave.

Please note there is nothing the source material about uneducated/no education, just a statement of fact about which stage in the education ladder people had ended their education.
btw, for those who keep stating that immigration wasn't important in the Brexit vote, the polls showed it was the 2nd most important reason for all Brexit voters. ]

One third (33%) said the main reason was that leaving “offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.”
