And do you know why? the vote was so strongly against the EU

The locals were upset about job losses, but the council loved it!

They pointed out the Polish supermarkets did not replace locally run grocers and butchers, but moved into derelict buildings, abandoned due to lack of money.
He said: "As recently as 2002, we were a city that had a falling population and a declining economy.
"We had to shut schools and tear down housing stock.
"Migration has helped us turn all this around.
"It has helped Hull grow and brought money into the city."
And who wanted these Eastern countries to join the EU?
John 'Major and the Conservatives.
And in the Guardian

In the early 1990s, when
John Major was at war with his party over Europe, there was one issue on which, broadly speaking, he found common ground with the Eurosceptics. It was EU enlargement. Supporting expansion to incorporate the former communist nations of central and eastern Europe was the golden scenario.
"Wider, rather than deeper" was the catchphrase.
By expanding eastwards – so the Tories believed – the European Union would become so big that political union would be impossible. A bigger EU would evolve into a looser union of free trading nation states, with weaker institutions at its centre. It was the way to put the brake on Franco-German and Benelux ambitions for ever closer union, while widening the internal market and promoting stability between east and west. The vision of Europe that Margaret Thatcher had outlined in her Bruges speech in 1988 would come into being.
In this as in everything else they have done, the Conservatives made a complete hash of it.
Hull voted out because the Conservatives filled the city with foreigners in the eyes of the public, and most locals actually beieved the foreigners would end up going home, one way or the other if they voted for Brexit.
That isn't going to happen is it? and be honest Brexit won't help Hull in any way, will it?
look at it logically the city was going downhill and 10,000 houses being demolished before unpopular foreigners came on the scene and to the rescue.
When you think about it that's pretty much the same story nationwide.
Without the immigrants, the country goes to the dogs.
What we need is to "Control Immigration" you reply.
Well and good, who can you trust to do that ?
The Conservatives?
You have to be joking if you look at their past performance.
Pigs might fly first.
