It is always interesting to (in your head) replace "EU citizen" with "Jewish person" or "black person" in things you read.
Imagine political scientists earnestly dismissing the notion that the UK had an anti-semitism problem on the basis of polls showing that "only" 30% of the populace thought Jews should be deported whereas 60% thought that Jews who were already here should be allowed to stay ...
.... as long as Jews coming here in future were strictly controlled.
I rather think that Jewish people might be rather alarmed - not just by the underlying figures but also by that fact that such figures were being calmly discussed as though they were football results.

That, my friends, is what it feels like to be an EU citizen living in the UK today and listening to the likes of Matthew Goodwin.
