Perhaps this all falls at the feet of those in the "service sector" who let greed and lack of compassion for others ruin the UK economy in the first place. Of course they voted against Brexit. Not because they were more education, but because staying in the EU maintained the status quo.

There is absolutely nothing that leaving the EU does to alter the effects of globalization on the UK, if anything it makes them worse, which is why I think the vote was hugely stupid, leaving the EU does absolutely nothing to alter the situation, it just makes the UK poorer.
The status quo that voters are mad at is worldwide, it has nothing to do with Europe and what chance any country has of resisting the effects comes with being part of larger more influential economic groupings.
