Trump also backs Brexit!

As regards EU immigrants who back Brexit or UKIP, it's not uncommon. Nigel Farage's wife is German. For some time, one of my UKIP MEPs - she later switched to the Tories - was Marta Andreasen, a Spaniard, who had worked for Price Waterhouse Cooper, but otherwise had little obvious previous connection to the UK.

I often think it's ironic that our most xenophobic types tend to express great admiration for the Queen (of German and Danish descent, and married to a Greek) and St George (from Turkey I believe; of Greek and Middle Eastern origin).
