More than 60% of Brits want to re-join the EU with nearly the same number saying Britain was wrong to leave in the first place, a new poll shows.

I only know the EU side and over here we were all like WTF are you guys doing? It is so insane, we cannot ever understand it. Friends of mine in the UK got their grants revoked, because they were coming from the EU. They were promised the grants would be paid by the UK instead, which was not only too late, but it never happened.
Also I was imagining more like French style protest, burning the whole damn thing down. Plus hurting the bastards where it counts, in their wallets, so for example massive strikes. But maybe that isn’t the British way. I haven’t heard in the news at the time something like “The third week of Brexit protests leave London in lockdown.”
So, fundamentally we think of ourselves as a democracy. Particularly for the liberal educated middle-class people who accounted for much of the Remain vote, it’s an important tenet of faith that political ends are things that should be achieved at the ballot box, not on the street.
