I take it you never watched TV? In those areas where there was a large
majority to leave, the most common topic by far was immigration.


People voted brexit for a variety of reasons. Various were discussed in
forums, newsgroups etc.


And mostly shown to be lies or gross exaggeration. Or just pure prejudice.


And you could just as well say any of those issues swung the vote - they
all did. I'm not so sure what media concentrating on something really
means.


Sort of talking to everyone yourself, it's the closest you'll get. Pretty
well all the vox pops in the old industrial areas of the UK which now have
high unemployment blamed the EU and immigration as the main reasons for
their plight.
