One of the big unanswered puzzles of Brexit is how to address the concerns of many who voted Leave, from austerity to the erosion of manufacturing, cuts to police & social security, and so on and so on. Their problems and fears are real - they've just fingered the wrong culprit.
Of course, they were aided and abetted in this by referendum-era UKIP and factions within the Tory and other parties. The EU is a very convenient scapegoat when you either don't want to offer difficult answers (UKIP) or put your hand up to being the root cause of the problems.
So there's the big scary EU bully that supposedly caused everything bad in their lives, yet which in practice has little to do with issues.

But the issues themselves are real. Sweep them under the carpet and you foment more anger, because that's the politicians being dismissive.
