The reliably excellent Aditya Chakrabortty on the real reasons behind Brexit:

The key paragraph from the article is this:

You can see the result today: the UK is once again in the grip of austerity and anti-democratic politics – when we got into this crisis precisely because of austerity and democratic failure. The vast spending cuts made by George Osborne wrecked our hospitals, our schools and our town halls, and stoked the frustrations that ensured Brexit. I heard it over and over while reporting before the referendum – passersby declaring they were voting out, and citing as their reason nothing to do with Brussels and almost everything to do with the Tories. Their mum’s wait for an operation, their kids’ inability to get a council house, the loss of industry, the black hole left by privatisation: 40 years of bombed-out economics and bullshit politics.

I call bullshit, schools haven’t been wrecked. NHS worked brilliantly last two times I used it. Me and my anecdotes……

Fairly certain most polling had it as a minority issue.

They might certainly have felt strongly about it, but it doesn’t mean that it was a popular view…
