Must not say that British-born people are most likely to know what's best for Britain

Infighting has broken out in the Remain campaign after pro-EU Apprentice boss Lord Sugar said a Brexit campaigner should not 'tell us British what we should do' because she is from Germany.

He was attacking Labour MP Gisela Stuart, who is from Bavaria and moved to Britain in 1974 and was representing the Brexit camp in the last major TV debate before Thursday's referendum.

James McGrory, the spokesman for the official Britain Stronger In Europe campaign, said his remarks were 'utterly unacceptable'.

It was an extraordinary outbreak of infighting within the Remain campaign just hours before polls open in Britain's first referendum on EU membership in 41 years.

Ms Stuart, now a British citizen, was representing the Leave campaign alongside Boris Johnson and Tory minister Andrea Leadsom in front of 6,000 people at a high-stakes debate Wembley Arena.

Businessman and Remain backer Lord Sugar took exception at her appearance in the debate, tweeting: 'I find it strange that Gisela Gschaider a 1974 immigrant from Germany is on the Brexit panel telling us British what we should do.'

He added: 'She immigrated to UK from Germany in 1974. 30 mins ago was advocating that we stop immigration from the EU.'

And after one of his Twitter followers branded him a 'racist', Lord Sugar replied: 'You ignorant fool. How can my comment be classified as racist. Crawl back under your rock'.

In the United States immigrants often have the clear view of where society is going since they have just gone through classes and taken a citizenship test. The majority of the US population fails miserably on citizenship and how the government works. The EU is a parallel to the United States with what used to be nations now relegated to state status with a largely incompetent progressive central government that keeps mandating social change that largely does not benefit the income providers or working and professional people in the EU. The Exit campaign is just a symptom of forcing progressive social change by taxing those that produce to pay for "refugees", slackers, and their needs.

The British upper class still resent the allowing the lesser classes to have the vote. They still live in a fantasy world. If Britain leaves they might finally be able to eject the Gypsies.
