This tallies with most of my friends who are working class ( not necessarily Labour Voters).

It's still far too close to call. Polls, as we know are useless.
Whatever the vote pretty much half of the country will be feeling disenfranchised so harmony will be a real problem.
I can really understand those on lower pay feeling this. Those I have spoken too pretty much echo what Gromit has written. (Sorry to break the mould and agree with you for once Gromit!).
Of course immigration is not the only reason for many, for me it is just a part of the whole picture, but for those massively affected it is a more compelling reason than any scaremongering economic argument. After all whats the point of threatening jobs and tax rises if you struggle to get a job whilst in the EU?

Despite not living in S.O.T. for years now, I still have family and friends there. Take it from me, although a little rough around the edges, the people of Stoke are not fools. They have seen through the smoke and mirrors, and the area was one of the first to be affected by the mass immigrant influx. The area has been a Labour stronghold for generations, fat lot of good it has done for the electorate. Also be assured that once they have made up their minds, they will not be changing their stance.
