Is this not just another example of the evolved 'distrust' of the EU, esp down south, generated by the RW press (and others with a set agenda against the EU) who have 'stoked up' a dislike of the EU for the past 20-30 years if one was being frank about it and it conveniently misses out the role of successive failed British governments in many contentious brexit issues that certain parliamentarians should really 'carry the can' for. IMO it is a noticeable evolved 'culture' amongst a significant part of the voting population in England and it never goes away! In other words, 'point the finger' at the nasty old EU whenever the opportunity arises and ignore the culpable activities of shit British governments!!
