It's been suggested that some of those who voted to leave the EU are 'thick'. I've no reason to believe that the majority of such people are 'thick'. But thereare some who are 'thick'. Those include more than one person who told me that they voted to leave the EU 'in order to get rid of all the immigrants'. When asked who are 'the immigrants' to whom they were referring, their answers were plain. Those who are: 'not like us'. I fear such people will be sadly disappointed if and when brexit comes to pass. The UK is going to need a lot of people who are 'not like us' if the NHS and care services are not going to grind to a halt and to do those hard, uncomfortable, poorly paid jobs with antisocial hours that many Britons are unwilling to do and which, hitherto, many Eastern European EU citizens did, but no longer will, do. Those 'thick' people may be in for quite a surprise post-brexit!
