There seems to be some real controversy here over the whole deal. In fact, I seem to remember some Brits being interviewed shortly after the 1st results came out and frankly some of them seemed surprised at what Brexit really entailed.

It also seems a lot of young Brits, who are just now coming into voting age, reject the whole Brexit idea.

The idea of a 2nd referendum might smack of "we didn't do it right the first time" but.... is it really so bad when so much is at stake?
I would be quite happy with a second referendum. There was an almighty amount of deception, flat out lies,illegal money and disinformation from foreign agents that presented a false picture. Even the most vehement of Brexiteers were very happy at first to suggest a second vote on the terms of the deal. They now are again pretending otherwise. I mean look at the example here even on this forum, this thread which I started, was absolutely dominated by those outside of the UK who will not even be affected by the vote. I would rather we didn't leave and reshaped the EU from within but the British people have decided to leave so fuck it, let them reap the dividends but don't pretend that the half of us that voted remain do not exist. The leave deal should not be dictated by cunts like Farage who could not even win enough votes to get elected to Parliament, ex-pat scum like PJW and Milo, ego mainacs like Trump and Putin who just want to weaken the UK and flood us with shite produce and Russian propaganda. The insanity of ignoring the freedoms of being able to trade freely in an established market with thousands of years of shared history in workers and produce with countries a few hundred miles away in favour of those thousands of miles and an airplane away (or worse cargo boat), with no established protocols is beyond a joke. Even immigration the one issue so many Brexit voters want to control will go thru the roof with far more dangerous people coming in than now.
