That's not the point though. You are calling Leave voters stupid and ignorant, but the evidence proves otherwise. Many of these people have respectable trades, and the cognitive skills to go along with them. Something else must have motivated them to vote Brexit, but you don't want to address that.

Even you equating labour with labourer shows your bias. Skilled labour is quite a bit different.
