And when they explained there were more immigrants coming into this
country (legally) than those coming in from the EU (also legally) they
seemed stunned (it was definitely 'news to them')? When it was
explained that these 'immigrants' were often a) doing the jobs that
many English people wouldn't and b) paying their taxes and buying our
products and c) many industries wouldn't be able to cope without them
... they were even further stunned.

Didn't seem to matter. That awfully nice Mr Farage had assured them that
they'd get their country back by voting leave. And their town back too,
obviously.

So like someone with terminal cancer, they got hope from any old quack.
