I'm British and I agree with everything he said.

There is a very real pro-Monarchy, post-Empire resentment of anything not British among a large section of the British people. They might not say it out loud, but it's clear in the things they say.

I think that is untrue. This thread is the first time I've heard anyone mention Empire in connection with Brexit.

There is xenophobia but I think if you look closely you'll find that in most European countries as well. No doubt that instinct will now be directed at the British.

This is clearly about political systems.
