The Brexit Rejection of Neoliberal Tyranny

23. There are two groups the xenophobes in Britain hate

1. EU workers - these are mostly Eastern European and the prevailing argument is "they're taking our jobs and overrunning our services" despite the fact they work thankless jobs for long hours and little money, and are generally young and healthy so don't use the NHS much.

2. Muslim migrants - these are mostly fictional, especially in places that voted Leave. But you wouldn't know it from the UKIP campaign, which basically had them making English primary school children pray to Allah, performing honor killings in the streets of sleepy English villages, and raping every English woman they come across.

Edited to add: the first narrative is FAR more the root of the xenophobia than the second. The second is mostly people who are already irredeemable racists.
