I was basing my stats from the Office of Nationals Statistics :
View attachment 51972
I also researched other high Leave voting areas such as Boston (who voted Leave by the greatest margin), and their "non-British nationals) was 27%, compared to U.K. average of 9%. Similar result with South Holland (second highest Leave area).

It's interesting that most London boroughs with a high immigration rate voted Remain. Could this be down to an integration thing? From personal experience it seems that in Great Yarmouth, most immigrants (which are mainly from Eastern Europe as opposed to from other parts of the world) seem to "keep themselves to themselves", and there are very obvious immigrant 'areas' within the borough where there is extemely limited integration with the wider British born community. I assume that's not the case in many part so of London?

Nail onthe head here.. London, having Heathrow and all the tourism is much more multi cultural than the North of England. Like you say, the migrants don't seem to integrate as well outside of London or the big cities.

Those stats are very telling

To pre-empt Joe and his accusations of project fear and how they were wrong about the Euro etc. I would like to ask him, if projections such as this are so fanciful, why is it that thus far they all seem to be one way? Where are the fanciful projections around how Brexit will make life better?

All I've seen to date are people from various walks of life saying this will be crap, with the standard retort then being to either dismiss that as idle speculation, or to downplay the fears as "it won't be that bad, we survived the blitz...". Leavers complain that remain voters aren't getting behind the country, but what exactly is it we're supposed to get behind? Where is there anything at all that even wildly suggests that Brexit will make things better than now rather than various states of worse?

But please carry on with all your doom and gloom, country will collapse bluster. Its quite entertaining

It will be bumpy without a deal always stated that - but it is not crashing out it is taking place around the table of the WTO who carry out 98% of world trade....
#IF the EU put tariffs on goods we would gain as the export more to us.........
so frictionless trade will carry on without the guff of bullies telling us what to do......

Well, a few things Joe. Firstly, I write for Forbes as well, and you discount everything I say, so y'know. Secondly, the article you reference quotes the auto industry saying that things will be very bad. It then references Brexit Central saying it won't be that bad, and that it would be relatively easy to maintain things as they are now. This is supposed to be making things better Joe, so with respect, I'll await 'project optimism' from you. Any time now.
