I am U.S.born and so not Brit, but because it is entering mid-day in UK and having no responses yet to your question, may I, just say that this vote is clearly an indication that in England at least the people seem to be expressing dissatisfaction with the inability of their political leaders to protect the British culture from destruction by immigrant populations. This is my read. So, I feel that this is a good result and long term it will benefit the UK.

Good! To many Irishmen, Cromwell is hated as much as Hitler is in England.

One point: England is not the UK. England is one part of the UK along with Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Which means they would be wrongHitler is a special case and Cromwell, while not a darling just isn't.

I don't see the relevancy. Afaik it's Britain leaving the EU, not just England. Or have I misunderstood?

Oh. Thing is though, Lake Lover apparently had a good reason to specify England. In Scotland and Northern Ireland at least, the vote was actually strongly against Brexit... leading to fears of renewed attempts by each to leave the British empire. And Lake Lover himself specified England at least; which seems to be he intentionally singled England out. Wales is, afaik, the only other part of the UK that favored Brexit.

My grandparents said something very stereotypical but I believe it proves the point. "We don't trust the Germans, we can't have all of our laws controlled by them!"
BBC Radio 4 had a quote from a war veteran who was crying about how "all of his brothers who died were getting justice" from Britan leaving the EU...
Not sure how destroying our economy to a point I doubt it will ever recover from is relevant to that but you know...

Thank you, and I know that. I was not very clear in alluding to the fact that England voted to LEAVE, while Scotland voted heavily to REMAIN. Of course, Wales is too a part of the UK.
