An awful lot of the people who support this mess

a) Are perennial moaners
b) Support this whole mess out of spitefulness towards other groups in society
c) Think this will only affect other people than themselves
d) Don't understand the implications or complexity of this whole matter
e) Believe what bad politicians and newspapers are telling them. (i.e. "project fear" )

There is the whole rose tinted nostalgia for a non existent previous era as well.
