Yeah, Duffy and I are not very pleased about it. I think a lot of people took the opportunity to give London and the South-East a kick in the teeth, without thinking about the wider issues. Or maybe Britain does indeed hate furriners to an enormous extent, I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm worried a lot about possible changes to human rights, labour laws, and environment laws, but the whole fascism thing is obviously a major concern too. When I was growing up there was always an old-timer or two who could be called upon to visit the kids in schools and show them his or her concentration camp tattoo (our high school once arranged for a double act of two epically morose Jews to come and shove their forearms in each of our faces individually), but I don't really know what's going to happen when the last camp survivors are dead and there is no-one to provide a direct link with the consequences of European fascism. Maybe some kind of amazing augmented reality experience.
