I think Europeans in general are justified in not supporting the EU. Opposition to neoliberalism is not tolerated. Neoliberalism is destroying the economies of Southern Europe, and it's not doing anything for the French or really anyone. So yeah, on that side, the British were justified in not liking the EU. That being said, Britain is a more privileged nation, along with Germany and France, in the EU. The rest of Europe is being exploited by German expansion once again, but this time it's in the name of freedom and democracy. So the British did have more privileges in than out.
That being said, the biggest problem is that the leave campaign was mostly led by the racist right, so leaving was basically just to hurt immigrants and not to oppose neoliberalism. For that reason, nothing is going to change. The British can kick out all the immigrants they want. If they keep neoliberalism, their problems won't go away, especially if they continue to negotiate de facto membership, anyway.
