Everyone was broadly ok with our relationship with the EU. Until it said it was going to crack down on rich people's tax-fiddles. 
Funny, that. Not "funny ha ha" though.
The rich responded with a plan - stir up anti-EU sentiment. And the tools they chose were racism, xenophobia and nationalism.
The plan relies on 2 things: Everyone having a vote; lots of voters not having the brains they were born with.

The rich couldn't say "we want out as the EU will make us less rich" - voters wouldn't fall for that - as in the main they're not rich.
So they made it about stuff that voters WOULD fall for - "Bananas, Brussels & Black People".
Tub-thumping, racism, & xenophobia. Bingo!
