I lived in Britain during the period leading to and after the Leave Referendum and, IMHO, Brexit was the consequence of amongst other things a very strong strain of prejudice and delusions of grandeur in British (especially English) society, rather than the cause.
The ill adjusted to the XXI century society and power structures were what caused Brexit, not the other way around.
