I never voted for Brexit to stop immigration. Having control of immigration is a subtle difference. Being a member state of the EU, we didn't have any choice but to accept migrants from within the EU (legal citizens of course). Now we do. I'm absolutely fine with us using that choice to accept migrants. And I'm fine with people who work here for long enough gaining citizenship. I'm also fine with us refusing to grant work VISAs to those who don't speak English. Does a lorry driver need to speak English? It definitely helps. I need to speak French if I want to work in France. I don't consider that an unreasonable expectation.
I voted for sovereignty, remember. I didn't vote to tell migrants to fuck off. Some people probably did, but that's not me, and it's not any Brexit voter I personally know.
