6:27Now PlayingVoters who cast their ballots to leave the European Union in the United Kingdom's recent referendum on membership in the bloc said they would be willing to pay the economic price of severing access to the EU's single market if that's what it takes to stop more immigrants from coming to work in the UK.
This is after some prominent leaders of the Leave campaign have backtracked since winning the referendum to say that they may not, after all, be able to put immigration controls in place if they want to keep doing business with the EU.
VICE News sent Simon Ostrovsky to Clacton-on-Sea, a bastion for the pro-Leave United Kingdom Independence Party to find out why its residents were so ready to give up on the European project.
