In fact, for more than a decade one of the loudest screams from politicians has been how immigration is too high, changing the fabric of the nation and leaving behind the so-called White working class. Britain left the comfort of the EU and the Tories became the National Front Lite because of the very resentments that have boiled over onto the streets.
