Why did you vote leave?
When I moved to the UK in May 2015 I had a fairly positive impression of the EU from when I lived in Spain back in 2006.
I wasn't aware there was a pending referendum when I moved there but listened to the debates with intent. The crux of the leave arguments being a desire to control immigration, remove the country from the massive unelected bureaucracy of the EU and prevent the risk to British sovereignty from their imperialism. These to me were far more compelling than the remain arguments of the economy will be ruined and if you vote leave you're a racist.
I believed that had Australia been a member of the EU under similar circumstances I would have wanted to leave.
I would also add that the EU's management of the Southern European debt and migrant crises seriously damaged their credibility.

Brexit loons will be sitting on the sidelines as right wing parties win the EU Parliament next year and set an agenda disinterested in English concerns.

Serious question, isn’t the point that local people should be doing this type of work to ease pressure on government welfare costs? If they refuse to work on a farm than lower their benefits. The whole concept of people believing they are too good to perform a menial job needs to change culturally.

Farage representing Trump and Brexit as muslim terrorist related protests
Brexit protest was mainly about eastern eurpeans taking 'Jerbs" and Trump was about Mexico apparently
besides both 'majorities' had an element of 'accident' about them

I see farage is over here peddling hate
Is he still saying people voted to leave the EU over Muslim immigration, when really it was immigration from Eastern Europe?

There are enough jobs available for everyone who are willing to work, but many people think they are above certain jobs. Just walk into any Indian supermarket and see how many Britishers you find there. Not because there are no jobs, it's cause they don't want to be employed in an Indian supermarket cleaning shelves. Similarly applying for welfare isn't easy. Once you are in the system getting 250 pounds a week, sitting on your arse doing nothing, why will you go work in a farm to get 350 pounds a week instead? the added up costs of transport and time is not attractive enough to go work in a farm, lose their unemployment benefits and start over applying for benefits when fruit picking season is over for example. Varieties of reason are into play here.
Blaming everything on EU when UK could have modernised and moved away from EU dependency and produced everything locally.

Packer agrees that Britain could just as easily have made changes from within the EU — such as localizing food systems and moving away from industrial farming, including from the import-export methods upon which it currently relies.
France, for example, recently announced a commitment for 50 percent of food supplied to the public sector to be produced locally.
"The message that we can achieve more outside [the EU] can, in some ways, be unpicked through that story," Packer points out.
But yes, let's blame the EU for the mess in farming.
fell for what?
