Must admit, at the beginning of the campaigning, I felt that there would be vote in favour of 'Remain', albeit I haven't lived in the UK for nearly 20 years, and hence can't profess to have first hand knowledge of people's feelings.

However, in spite of all the warnings of impending calamity that both camps have been touting as the future, what has amazed me is that the more that the 'Remain' side leaders and their allies in Europe and elsewhere try to frighten the populace into signing on for more of the same, the more the polls indicate an increasing lead for "Leave".

What is truly astonishing is how at odds the Labour Party is with it's own supporters, and in this instance doesn't appear to be able to grasp the depth of feelings around immigration.

The ready source of EU labour willing to work for less and for longer, worries workers. The lack of housing and large increases in rent cannot be helped by the numbers seeking it, growing year after year. These are the real time economics that people are interested in, not the potential decline in the value of sterling, or the spiralling fall of share prices.

I read this editorial comment this morning (full link here: Britain is in the midst of a working-class revolt | John Harris | Opinion | The Guardian ) and I'll quote a paragraph from it:

"Before anyone with a more right-on view of all this explodes with ire, they might also consider the numbers. Between 1991 and 2003, on average about 60,000 migrants from the EU came to the UK each year. Between 2004 and 2012, that figure rose to 170,000. The 2011 census put the number of UK residents from Poland alone at 654,000."
