The title should clearly read
"Even the UN recognises the dishonesty of the Brexit EU Referendum campaign"
...because that is what the article states. There was a good deal of divisive comment and rhetoric on both sides of the argument, granted the xenopobia was one sided. Just as now, post referundum, there is a responsibilty of all MP's to tackle the xenophobic behaviour of the vocal minority. And they are the minority.

I wouldn't disagree with your sentiment, although that specific phrase wasn't in the article, neither was the phrase that I used.
As I said, I wouldn't disagree with your sentiment except that the UN report was particularly highly critical of ""Divisive" and "anti-immigrant" rhetoric by UK politicians during the EU referendum helped to fuel a spike in race hate crimes in the weeks before and after the vote, a UN body has said."
That was hardly the fault of the remain side.
The government's and therefore the Remain contribution was:
"It said the UK government's anti-terrorism Prevent strategy had created "an atmosphere of suspicion towards members of Muslim communities"."
Whereas other parties were:
"It said prominent political figures had "failed to condemn" racist abuse and created prejudices during the campaign.
The report expressed concerns at the negative portrayal of immigrants in the UK and a rise of racist online abuse.
It said the EU referendum campaign had been marked by "divisive, anti-immigrant and xenophobic rhetoric".
Members also said they remained concerned at the "negative portrayal" of ethnic minority communities, immigrants, asylum-seekers and refugees in the UK, including coverage by the media."
It doesn't take much to work out the worst offenders.
I think that's a pretty damning report on the Brexit campaign.
