The issues of segregation of communities in Oldham, Rochdale, Halifax and dozens of other Northern towns is well documented and a real problem, obviously those in their perfect Southern bubble don’t, can’t relate to it.

As I think we exchanged about this a few months ago, there is still a very large percentage of the population o/s of the Southern bubble that believe that the EU and our Parliament doesn’t work for them or represent them. BNP tapped into this but was too close to the NF, then UKIP Provided an outlet that was acceptable and they gained enough support to frighten the Tory’s into offering a Referendum.

Vote Leave were able to tap into it to win the Referendum. Failure to deliver the Referendum will only confirm to those that the EU and U.K. parliament still hold them in contempt and the Brexit party will no doubt do very well.

Your blindness, and that of other Remainers, to that reality is quite surprising, if not disappointing after all this time.
