The biggest joke is that it was the U.K. which was the greatest advocate of EU enlargement to the east, and that it was the Tony Blair who decided to lift border controls for Central/Eastern European immigrants. Now they have the audacity to complain about immigration and foreigners taking away British jobs. Clowns.

Although it looks as if the UK is trying the old "Divide and Conquer" stunt again. The tabloids rave about the Danes, the Dutch, the Swedish and the French supposedly wanting out of the EU. They hope that Britain will wait with the exit until other countries in the EU follow their lead. Seems the leading political class in Britain is out to destroy Europe (again) with their backward British Empire mentality.

Don't forget, the referendum is non-binding. Parliament has the final say, and the pro-EU MPs might be using their Commons majority to keep Britain inside the EU.
Oh, I can see Germany leaving next year, too. The breaking-apart of the EU would be a disaster for the countries in the south and east of the continent, though.

Wow, who would have thought! Interesting times ahead, it seems. Wonder if Poland will receive the same amount of EU subsidies once the Brits have left (if they decide to do so). The Germans can't shoulder everything, that's for sure. Looks like we are seeing the beginning of the end of the EU.
And maybe the end of the UK as well. Scotland is already considering to demand a second referendum for independence, according to the Guardian.

That is true for the folks that read Daily Fail and/ or vote for UKIP. Most people voting for a Brexit are most likely uncomfortable with the loss of sovereignty to Brussels.
The Brexit campaign is largely based around xenophobia i.e. leaving the EU would supposedly allow the UK to control it's own borders which would mean less migrants coming to the UK.
