I am for controlled immigration, if it wasn't for immigrants this country couldn't function. I'm the descendant of immigrants. What I am against is the EU's decision to let anyone in. Canada doesn't do it, neither does the US, nor Australia... they have a system based on what people can offer the country and I see now reason to think they're all racist. They have a proper system for admitting refugees too, just like we have.

There are vile people amongst those who voted to leave. There are vile people amongst those who voted to stay. This is not a black and white, they're racist and I'm not issue, it's much more complicated than that.

And what makes you think getting out of the EU will change things?
The non-EU immigrations has always been fully under British control and what? It has kept on increasing year on year.
Not to mention it's all very well getting out of the EU directives but how do you know the much praised free trade agreements won't depend on immigration exemptions for e.g India or China? India has been grumbling for years about the issue.
