I don't accept this is the economic position of most people who voted Brexit.
That's cool, it's not a contradiction of your argument or mine.
But... you did specifically cite an example of the yobs in Marseilles and that is what I was responding to. I also do not think for a moment that that group of people reflect those who voted leave.

I don't accept this is the economic position of most people who voted Brexit. I haven't seen any exhaustive research or breakdown of the Brexit cohort, so can admittedly only fall back on anecdata. I watched Adrian Chiles' documentary on Brexit voters in Birmingham. One couple owned a house and had just bought a narrow boat. Another was a pub landlord with a thriving business.
