Not true, indications are that 63% now would vote to remain in the Eu and would favour closer ties such as rejoining the single market, customs union (this will happen within a decade as economic reality will dictate it). So apart from the minority of died in the wool gammons, who will never change their views anyway - I mean they have been going abroad for decades and complaining one can't get good British food there!!Quote:

Yes your right the Brexit voters would like to forget the debate, or more correctly they would like to see the illusive benefits of Brexit which will never materialise. Those who championed Brexit are desperately searching around for some excuses as to why Brexit hasn't delivered what was promised.
Businesses are absolutely at their wits end trying to cope with the paperwork that exporting to our nearest and biggest market the EU, involves. They are also struggling to to get staff and no matter how one spins things, higher wages won't suddenly magic non existent people out of the woodwork to do jobs.
I mean the economy is down by at least £400 million a week, our energy prices are the highest in Europe and magically the UK seems to miss the opportunity to trade without restrictions with 27 other nations more than the the 27 miss trading with us. Mind you that's not surprising, because checks and controls are largely only in place for goods exported from the UK to the EU! The UK government having quietly not introduced them for imports from the EU, knowing full well it would increase costs for UK consumers!!
With something as fundamental as Brexit, its not surprising that the debate will rumble on, especially as its now absolutely clear that most of the statements made by the leave campaign were false, pure lies. That by the way includes the claims of "regaining control", sovereignty (which we had never lost), controlling migration (its currently higher than before we left the EU!).
Going forward, eventually bit by bit as is happening now, it will be seen as a big mistake, a last crushing blow to the UK's self deception that it is somehow still the world power it once was. Yes we have significant political capital, as a stable country that operates on a sound legal basis - but the current government is doing its best to shatter that!!
In any case, as more and more evidence of how much a disaster Brexit has been for the UK, it beholds some of us to point out this to those who seem unaware.
