I just arrived home from that side of the planet this evening. My scottish relatives are pissed that eastern europeans are taking peoples jobs, but really the bulk of the work has been outsourced to china. My wife's english relatives however revel in the diversity which now surrounds them, but they are retired.
It's obvious immigration was the big issue. We spent almost 2 weeks in the UK and south of scotland, we had a natural english speaking waiter serving us on only one occasion. Even the guy giving the tour on the hop on bus had an accent as did the driver and both where barely comprehensible. I walked into 3 pubs owned by non english speakers in downtown London.
I saw a lot of of eastern europeans sleeping rough in the streets around London, I'd estimate about 300 where camped down around leicester square after 8pm when we where there.
Time will tell if the British get what they want.
I know Iceland is happy
