I'm not sure about laying this at the door of 'hardcore remainers'. If they did try to say anything about the ground being made more welcoming for racists and xenophobes they would be (and have been) told that they were throwing shit at Gillian Duffy's windows and were only really concerned about customs adding an hour onto the Eurostar journey to Avignon. The emphasis on the likely economic consequences of Brexit has been, I thought, an attempt to engage on the wider issues without immediately being accused of despising everyone outside the M25. Given the number of outright appeasers of and apologists for the far right strains coming through, they are hardly the most culpable group. The problem here is that the Brexit loons and their pilot fish are prepared to lie harder, stoop lower and disregard the consequences more recklessly than any non-sociopathic opponents can easily cope with.
