Wales residents that don't identify with England or are English aren't keen on Brexit.
What's this reply in response to?

The class comments. I think national identity cannot be left out of it (unfortunately)
Liverpool is poor and rejected brexit wholesale. It is also a city with many people that identify with Ireland.
Irish nationalism tries to be exclusive and include unionists (yes there are triumphant arseholes and Shinnerbots (SF dogma parrots) too ) English nationalism is really only for the English.
It doesn't include the Welsh or Scottish or NI or immigrant people with similar -income- equality and housing class issues.
Broad stroke, I know.

With all this talk of austerity and neolib economic issues, class cap doffing to English nationalism is definitely a contribution from where I stand over the water.
