Farage and ilk did a good job of whipping up fear to sway the Brexit vote. What with those immigrants either taking British jobs or being a strain on the British economy.

Although... unemployment in Britain remains at a 10 year low of 5.2 and those pesky immigrants have made a net contribution of £20 billion to the British economy over the same 10 year period.

In fact a University College London report estimates that migrants coming to the UK since 2000 have been 43 per cent less likely to claim benefits or tax credits compared to the British born workforce.

During the 2015 election,a briefingwritten by the London School of Economics' Centre for Economic Performance showed

Additionally the Chancellor's department has warned a Brexit Would Cost UK Families £4,300 A Year.

And of course there is now talk of another Scottish Referendum on Independence within the next two years.

Scots voted against independence by 55 to 45 per cent in the 2014 referendum, after a campaign during which remaining in the EU was presented as one of the main attractions of sticking with the UK.

Two new polls taken after Thursday's vote showed a majority of Scots would now support independence.

Scotland voted to stay in the EU by 62 to 38 per cent.

The UK has done what is the right of every democracy on the planet. It is hoped that those who voted did what they thought was right and not guided by fear.

I would suggest all the fear-mongering came from the other side - from within the UK, from EU bureaucrats and leaders, from the heads of globalist-led organisations like the IMF and from globalist politicians elsewhere like Obama.

PS  Let's hear it for Boris!

Be honest, the Remain camp delivered a total fear war.

All the undemocratic trots are out in force dismissing the electorate as a bunch of cowered ignorants.

My family members voted for Remain but they are grown-up enough to respect the result.  None of this stupid, rabid 'have another vote until it goes our way' nonsense.

The UK will be fine. Europe will be fine - it needed a wake-up call and if it heads it now it will be the better for it.

Having lived in London for me the fundamental issue was the loss of sovereignty. a bunch of unelected bureaucrats setting the rules no mater what anyone thought. 5 Presidents, all unelected.

The EUs mistake was not to give more to Cameron when he come to do a deal. If they had, things may have been different. I bet they thought the UK would not vote to leave. I bet they would have given more ground if they knew the consequence of giving nothing. Today they would be prepared to give to other EU nations to stop them exiting I bet. Their arrogance knows no bounds.

Immigration, health ... fear....etc are all issues but the loss of control over their own country is the factor that moved the leave over the line.

The EU is run by bureaucrats who have no skin in the game.

If you have seen Final Destination then you will realise that Farage is living on borrowed time
