Speak to leavers and you will get a rather different picture, based on forging our own future and creating prosperity, being responsible for our own laws, as well as stemming the unrelenting scourge of immigration, which at its recent levels threaten to change the nature of this country and put untold damage on our public services and housing situation.

Colonialism? That's well dead and buried now and firmly consigned to history.
With the end of the United Kingdom as we know it and a border in the Irish Sea it certainly will be dead and buried.

Leaving the EU will solve none of the issues you describe. I see no prospective Government pledging to solve the housing crisis, no disincentives to have property traded as a commodity with buy to let landlords, none of it.

The UK haven't even been controlling immigration with the present levers available - what makes you think ending EU migration will change that?

People have been tricked by successive Governments into blaming immigrants for Government failure. Leaving the EU simply leaves a failing Government and no bogeyman.
