With hindsight, Prime Minister David Cameron would be full of regrets for his decision to call a referendum June 23rd, 2016 for Britain to decide whether to remain an EU member or a non-EU member. A British himself, Mr. Cameron should have known for a fact that there was no way the broader masses of his compatriots would want to remain a part of the EU and thus allow other EU citizens to come in and go as they willed.
From Sept, 2000 to June 2002, yours truly happened to live in the UK and I vividly recall everything I went through living in a pure white community in Newcastle_Under_Lyme, Staffordshire, and Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, all outside of London. Over that period, I observed that a very great majority of the British were so much against the presence of foreigners in their country even when they were also from other European countries such as Germany, Holland, Spain etc.
I vividly recall one scenario where a white German lady, a nurse by profession, had come to Cheltenham to polish her English and was actually given a hell of a time by her host institution because she was not British. She personally struck an acquaintance with me seeing the torture I was enduring as a black and thus sought to console me whilst also sharing her experiences. My conclusions whilst vacating the UK was that the British were a highly-reserved people and they always wanted to deal strictly with one of their own. Thus the many demographics especially from Eastern Europe that have flooded Britain following the expansion of the EU to 27 members had always raised the temperature of the average Briton.
This is why some of us find it shocking that the British leader went this path on the false premise that he could win on the questions he posed. The pattern of results no wonder shows Scotland and metropolitan London voting BREMAIN whilst almost the rest of the entire UK voted BREXIT. This was a clear case of conservatism that Mr. Cameron shockingly overlooked much to the joy of the pro-BREXIT. For a fact, we can predict that in the next few years, Scotland will seek once again to secede from the union again you bet!
To Mr. Cameron, I can only wish him Godspeed after he intimated this morning that he was to stand down in October. In fact, it was a really unnecessary suicide mission he embarked on!
