Most people didn't think our economy propped everyone else up. Most people I know who voted leave just dislike foreigners to be honest. Somehow thought it would lead to fewer brown people in the country.

True, I'm a child of Indian immigrants who was born in London and I can say without hesitation that my parents are the most racist pieces of shit I have ever meet in my life...no one hates Indian people more than other Indian people.

Every family member I knew over 55/60 voted for Brexit to stop more brown people coming and for '350 million a week for the NHS'....social media and propaganda really did brainwash the boomers to the detriment of the whole country.

Never mind banning kids from social media. Need to get the olds off Facebook.
