There was a view that we should take more control of who we let in and it was felt that in the previous few years there had been very lax controls on peoples entering the EU from the African continent which had led to an increase in unvetted people entering the uk which potentially led to the increase in radicalisation of UK citizens.
From Timothy Morgan, May's principal advisor until 2017:
Timothy also said May thought that the main advantage of Brexitwould be that it would allow the UK to control immigration:
Theresa’s instincts have been that economically, this is a risk to be managed, but politically this is an opportunity and that main opportunity is to recover control of immigration.
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”
The former scaffolding company worker said he backed Brexit mainly to control immigration because he felt Britain had “anybody coming in, no check on them”.
Steve Temple, said he voted Leave because he was “fed up” of mass immigration.
