He also said this:
Apparently the British people are not satisfied with the way problems are being solved in the security sphere, these problems have become more acute lately with the migration processes,
Not quite sure how you can disagree with him there. The immigration crisis in Europe is a disaster. There is no leadership. The only thing the EU is doing is accusing people of racism and xenophobia at every turn. That's not leadership! That's creating even more division.
And we see the same thing happening here. Anyone against the establishment is being accused of racism, isolationism, and sexism. You got growing numbers of people in multiple countries (US included) who feel completely disconnected with their government. And the only response the establishment has is, "fuck them." Well.. the voters are responding now with a big "fuck you too." And this is not surprising at all. And it will spread. Because the establishments around the world have NO interest in reform or change.
It's not just immigration. It's global trade deals that never benefits anyone but the wealthy. It's corporations and banks that are never held accountable. It's pointless war and conflict people have become tired of. The list can go on and on.
