Right, but this "a pox on both their houses" attitude isn't helpful at all. Whatever you may think of Chukka Umuna or Jo Swinson or Nicola Sturgeon or anyone else on the Remain side, it's madness to imply that they're somehow equally to blame with Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg.
I am prepared to go out on a limb and assume that that one particular man is probably a bit of a prick and not someone I would get on with terribly well. The idea of Brexit as a sort of 'war' is an extremely common trope among people who never made even the pretence of having an economic argument for it and are motivated solely by jingoistic nationalism and xenophobia.
You want to take that one particular guy as a synecdoche for the entire British working class then that's on you.
Because, as I've already explained, I didn't watch it, you didn't say it was a parody and it's not even that far-fetched. In fact:

Good for you - and I really mean that. But like I said, I wasn't accusing you of walking on by as immigrants got beaten up. I was accusing you of ignoring that aspect of Brexit *in this thread*.
Just as well I haven't done that, isn't it? Nonetheless, Will Self was OTM when he said "Not everyone who voted for Brexit is racist, but everyone who is racist voted for Brexit."
