Abstract
I followed the debate the whole night whilst as work, discussing the results with my peers on Facebook until I was the only one left standing, and in that silence I started thinking about the broader social meanings of the results. I thought about ideas of ‘Britain being great again’, independence, ideas of migrants flooding our shores, how many times I had heard ‘I’m not a racist but…’ during this campaign, the desperation and despair for ‘freedom’ the English are feeling after buying into propaganda by the leave campaign and old right wing rhetoric.
