I remember watching the referendum results coming in 3 years ago and, as usual, Sunderland were one of the very first to declare. I knew very early on that it was going to be a bad night when I saw how Sunderland had voted. If an area so reliant on our relationship with the EU were wanting to leave, it was inevitable what the result would be.
Chase, people don't make the connection.
I have family in that part of the country: they blame migrant workers for the lack of well-paid, secure employment, and no amount of reasoning with them has any effect. The jobs they're so nostalgic for - coal, steel, shipbuilding, heavy engineering, petrochemicals - started to disappear in big numbers more than thirty years ago, and the ones that remained have been dwindling ever since. Trying to explain that the losses of ICI, Dorman Long, and others is nothing to do with an influx of Polish plasterers or Romanian brickies is unfortunately just a waste of breath.
That's because Brexiteers are all thick racists.
