I feel dreadful when I hear of xenophobic attacks. I really Swedes and other foreigners to know that most Brits are not like that. I hope we're not like that, anyway.

Most are probably not like that but there's a big enough number who are still living with an empirical and WWII mindset; sadly, they tend to make most noise. I've unfortunately had to live and work beside them. Even found them in my own family

I have a couple of family members who voted Brexit. I've deliberately not got into it with them because I know I'll just get cross but I'll bet that if asked they'd start whining about 'immigration.' I don't think that these people realise just how low the level of immigrants being accepted by this country is compared with some other (often much smaller) European countries.
A lot of the Brexit result was based on completely misguided jingoism and xenophobia from people who did not have the faintest clue what they were voting for. But hey ... bendy bananas, right?!
