@jon

Wait are you suggesting that the Brexit vote wasn't correlated with racism and bigotry? I can assure you that was a huge part of it.

@HakeemG No. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that bigotry did not simply fit the UK class structure.

@jon

Not sure I understand this comment?

“You mean the white working class aren’t the inward looking borderline racists we’ve been acting like they are since 2016?”

@HakeemG I mean Labour has been assuming white working class are that, but they are not a unified block that all have the same views.

@jon

No they're not all that, but clearly many of them are indeed that. I don't think Labour has ever pretended they were a unified block.
