It's all about the motive.

Is it because of national security? Fine.
Is it because you're a racist who demonized an entire ethnic group as drug-using rapists? Not fine.

"Oh, suddenly border controls aren’t a bad idea"

It really seems that you were alluding to Trump.

Xenophobia fueled a lot of Brexit supporters. You may not have been one of them, but this is a fact.

Which brings us back to my earliest post about motive.

The Independent is well-known for being nonpartisan and came to the same conclusion: that Xenophobia drove Brexit.

The independent also points to misinformation such as Turkey allegedly joining the EU, resulting in "millions" of immigrants:

Xenophobia was most definitely a significant factor in Brexit.

MI5 disagrees:
In October 2020, islamist terrorism remained the greatest threat to the UK by volume according to Ken McCallum, the Director General of MI5.[29]
