It is very simple.
The great and good of nappy valley have generally done very well as part of the EU. We are a rich country and have been able to offer migrants (legal and illegal) work at a lower rate than domestically born-and bred, and raise our own standards of living. This raised our currency and made lots of jobs in financial services on which all our nice Victorian homes and nanny's incomes depend upon.
This came at the expense of other parts of the country who had to live with the strong pound and a great many years of economic decline (anybody vhere visit Margate in 2011 and find the only shops were betting shops and charity shops?). Outside of Nappy-Valley, second home in Burgundy and posh regions such as the Cotswolds it is very dire. Visit Doncaster if you ever get a chance.
What has been happening is that those marginalised and experiencing decling living standards (folk so poor they will never be able to visit somewhere like Northcote Road eateries) have risen up and voiced their disapproval and immmigration became a big issue. Successive Home Office ministers felt compelled to act. People in Margate have votes ranking park-passu with those in Nappy Valley, you know. Brexit was the pinnacle of this ill feeling.
All of Britain wants a better standard of living.
There is a lot going on here, and I think we should all be cognisant that sitting in an eatery enjoying our borgeous lifestyles on Northcote road makes us very fortunate. And we should not be quick to judge the officers, restaurant owner, other diners, politicians workers or indeed the society we live in. Taking a look a ourselves would be a better start.
