Cameron didn’t plan for Brexit, even those who campaigned for it abandoned their government posts when they saw how difficult it was.

To put the blame for any of this at the door of the EU is ignoring that it is us who are reliant on EU trade, migration, etc. yet made no contingencies for the alternative.
No we are not reliant on EU Migration - we have citizens HERE in this country who can do the jobs - we cannot sustain 100,000's coming here every year - there is not enough housing for our citizens, so why should someone outside be able to come in - get a house and over step those already on the list and were actually born here?

We do not need massive migration like we have now - people forget we are a tiny Island with limited resources and housing and as it stands right now - we have massive influx of unskilled workers, just claiming off the State.
