I am far too angry to comment on the racist riots and how the Brexiteers broke Britain, so instead let me dissect an article in the Daily Express on Friday.
I think most people in Britain don't have direct or easy access to the information that was publicly available prior to the 1975 (Remain/Leave) referendum. This has made it so much easier for UK news media and politicians to fantasise and fabricate about what the issues and options were in 1975.
Back in 1975 I bought a small booklet titled: "BRITAIN and E.E.C. STAY IN OR PULL OUT? An independent view - by DAVID HOTHAM". It covered all the issues, including Britain's trade with the Commonwealth.
I kept the booklet and in 2018 decided to scan and re-typeset it, to distribute to my friends and anyone else who might be interested to know exactly what was discussed in 1975 (without the filter and framing of 21st century commentators).
