Yep.But the options simply opened it up to people to abuse the leave vote for those bad reasons. Really we should have had more foresight and seen what was coming, as should the politicians. Got an issue with the coloureds? Vote leave. Got an issue with that bloke with the funny accent and the surname with all the Zs and Is who makes you seethe but you can't quite work out why? Vote leave. Got a fictionalised nostalgia tinted version of what this country used to be like in your head? Vote leave. Don't realise that this vote is about none of those things but about our relationship with an economic and political entity, statistics, finances, business and so on? Vote leave. And then plenty probably misinterpreted it as if we vote leave the country will suddenly and magically be cleansed of every foreigner.
Here's a snaphot that sums up the kind of delusion, idiocy and good old fashioned racism, that was behind the bone head vote. (have a sick bag ready)
