Re: Will of the people

on your point 2 - in the part of London that I lived during ref campaign, Leave supporters were openly telling British Asians that voting Leave would mean Europeans "sent home" and that this would "make more space for people like you". On one memorable occasion i heard a group of people explicitly being told that if they voted to leave the EU then immigration from South Asia would automatically increase as it was the EU controlling it, and that key restrictions would be lowered or even removed, with access to 'free' healthcare and housing "once Europeans stop taking our places".

Strangely, there was also the guy in a local who was a very loud Leave campaigner who wanted the UK to leave the EU because there were too many halal shops, mosques etc, who was busy spreading the lie that the EU was somehow responsible for that .....
