00:00 but it's a feeling out there that all of this fear stuff
00:04 has just gone over their heads.
00:06 They're fed up.
00:07 They really feel this is the payback time
00:09 for all the way that they've been ignored
00:12 for years and years.
00:12 And I genuinely do feel,
00:13 and I saw it in my own constituency.
00:14 - Do you think it's an anti-establishment mood
00:16 is taking hold of those going to leave?
00:20 - I think there's just a feeling out there
00:22 that nobody's listened to them.
00:23 And they really are beginning to believe
00:25 this is their one chance,
00:27 because both sides are saying
00:28 this is the most important decision they will take.
00:31 And I think they're beginning to believe that.
00:32 And I saw it in my own patch where I hadn't,
00:35 last weekend when I went out and what struck me there.
00:37 - 'Cause you're in central London.
00:38 - Yes, and I'm in central London.
00:39 London's always different, a bit of a bubble here.
00:41 But in one of my labour estates,
00:44 literally people were coming out to me genuinely
00:46 and saying, "We are with you.
00:48 "We want to leave."
00:49 And Afro-Caribbeans were saying to me
00:51 they understood the immigration thing.
00:53 They do understand that this is about
00:56 getting rid of discrimination in immigration.
00:58 It's not about anti-immigration.
01:01 And that's beginning to get through now
01:03 to both the Asian community
01:04 and the Afro-Caribbean community, quite senior ones.
