This is my experience of British immigrants in Spain who voted for #Brexit. People with no capacity for critical thinking. They voted for Brexit "because of the immigrants". Now they themselves lost their EU privileges, duh!

They were told both lies AND the truth & they chose the lies. Because they're idiots.

On the plus side EU has become an even nicer place to be because it's now less likely that you'll hear people like Greg from Winchester sounding off about the immigrants in UK.

@marcusjenkins it's a little bit mean, because I seriously wish for the United Kingdom to join the EU again. There were another half of the people who did know the facts and wanted to stay. I think it's very sad they got cut off and many people are now suffering.
So I hope at one point Britain can correct that mistake.

@bookstardust Every, single household in UK received this through their front door.

@bookstardust It would have probably been a whole load more effective if, instead of "the government says…" rather "so-so-so 3rd rate, tacky celebrity from a recent reality TV show says…"
