I agree, I sympathize with people in the UK being frustrated with the rate of immigration, particularly under Tony Blair's Labor Party, but the xenophobic chest beating of the Brexit campaign is equally depressing, especially after the tragic incident in Yorkshire.
At the end of the day, politics is about improving life expectancy and standard of livings, and in the long run, I can't see becoming a little island with no voice in one the world's biggest economic powerhouse being a benefit to the UK's standard of living or global significance in the long run.
And as stated by myself and others, you can guarantee that the Scott's will have another vote for independence on the first economic downturn if Brexit wins. I would trust Cameron over Boris and Farage on this one.
