I put that very clumsily, lack of compassion in any form is not what I meant. I'm sure people with lower socio-economic standing do certainly show compassion and empathy in a number of ways (charity, community etc). But look at what we saw here. It was very easy for the Leave campaign to convince large swathes of people that it their circumstances were the fault of immigrants and refugees under the banner of "the EU".
