Here is the voting map from the BBC. I urge you to take a close look. The majority of urban areas in England and Wales voted to LEAVE. The only city in England where the majority voted to REMAIN is London. However all the suburbs of London voted to LEAVE.
We apparently seem to have a different definition of urban. Yes London is urban, Sunderland is rural/factory/farming/fishing
From the article: " The Independent newspaper said the results “show the gulf between a liberal metropolitan class and working class people worried about immigration; between those doing well from globalization and those ‘left behind’ and not seeing the benefits in jobs or wages”. But it said the main split was “the chasm between the political class and the voters, who grabbed the free hit (Prime Minister David) Cameron unwisely handed them to give the ruling elite a kicking”." Leave it to reekter to claim that "working class" people as opposed to 'liberal metropolitan class' and 'voters' as opposed to 'political class' paints a 'damning picture of the leavers..." Reekter shows what an arrogant, drunken ass he is.... and all in one post! Congratulations!
So, can we safely assume that you and your friends are part of the "left behind"? After all you seem to feel very agitated against the elites all the time.
Well, I guess we can very safely assume that you are part of the generation terrified of not being ruled over. A truly lost cause.
the gullible have never ruled in the history of human kind even once. Not sure where your glimpse of hope originates from.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...mmigration-helped-drive-brexit-vote/86424670/ The national media are a few days behind ET. USAToday reports that exploding UK immigration was a big factor in Brexit. No kidding. "The United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union last week appears to have been driven in part by a historical surge of immigrants in recent years that has transformed the island nation. Legal migration, particularly from Eastern Europe, has soared as new countries have entered the EU and their citizens — with the blessing of U.K. leaders — took advantage of the bloc's freedom of labor laws to enter Britain. Annual legal immigration into the U.K. is now 10 times what it was in 1993, and experts believe this cultural dynamic fed fears of globalization and job losses which, in turn, drove last Thursday's vote to exit the EU." At least most of their immigration was legal. Here it is more like an invasion.
