You mean the 14 million or so people who voted Conservative in 2019 are racists and moreover so dumb that they didn't know that with brexit they were not going to get rid of Indians and Pakistanis?

No, that's not what I said. Plenty of Conservative voters voted remain. Equally plenty of Labour voters voted leave. I'm talking here about leave voters (regardless of Con/Lab orientation) being racist and having difficulty grasping simple concepts.

As a separate point (and it is a separate point) I'd certainly argue that the small number of Conservative party members (overwhelmingly old, rich, white and rural) who voted in the leadership election are proportionally more racist than everyone else, but I wouldn't argue that they are stupid, or indeed that they voted leave.
