> (voters wanted Brexit)

.. according to Dominic Cummings, this was because they were promised a huge amount of money for the NHS. This has been re-announced by Theresa May with no real explanation of where it would come from.

And now ... what exactly is happening? There's still a horrifying lack of confirmed detail.

> Voters wanted stricter immigration ... They are getting it.

Are they? Through which policy changes?

The "hostile environment" policy and promises that post-leaving, EU immigration will be controlled too.

The hostile environment policy was popular right until the Windrush generation started getting deported as well. I really don't think people have any idea how hostile the system already is.

What really worries me is that voters can't see the "flow" of immigration, they can only see the "level", and they're going to keep voting for more and more hostility so long as they keep seeing nonwhite faces or hearing people speaking Polish. Even if those people are in fact full British nationals.
