Brexit appears to be a big win for the xenophobic, racist right.

Submitted by Diomedes77 on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 5:48pm

The returns are still coming in, and there is much debate on who backed what and why, who said what to whom, and so on. But preliminary data tells us that the biggest forces behind the Brexit campaign, and the people crowing about it the loudest, with exceptions, are on the far right, and they used strong appeals to racism, xenophobia, even homophobia to get what they wanted.
