Brexit

There are new figures out showing that there was very little correlation between the number of migrants in an area and the voting preferences of the population. The overriding correlation to be found was between the percentage of the population that had received higher education, with those area with a higher proportion tending to vote 'remain'.
It is possible to postulate all manner of things from this, it has long been my contention that passive racism was a major factor in the referendum vote. What I mean by by this is that many people expressed the view that they were voting Brexit because of migration. As 'prejudice' is defined as: holding a view based on ignorance; this justifies my view that is was prejudice against immigrants that led to the result we had. You can argue that when people have received higher education, they will tend to be less prejudiced and therefore less likely to vote for Brexit because of the issue of migration.
The question of whether immigration is positive or negative effect upon the UK economy will be discussed in the next blog.
