Bregrets, we had a few.

Last month, we met a friend who told us, among other things, that she no longer trusted the Government as they had lied about Brexit, and if they had the time again, would not have voted for it.

And yesterday, one time "Hard Man of Brexit", Steve Baker, admitted that Brexit should have been subject to a super-majority, i.e. over 60%, and we should still be in the EU.

Well.

I try not to rage at those who voted for Brexit and are coming to regret it, Bregret, if you will, rather be angry with the liars than the lied to.

And yet.

If I worked it out, why didn't most of the country?

I am no genius, but I could see the holes in their arguments, that the media gave them a free pass certainly helped, but if something sounded too good to be true, then it almost certainly was.

Brexit cannot be reversed.

Certainly not quickly. But the most damaging parts can be made less so, if there is the will to do it. Though with the Mail and Express wailing against anything like that being done being against the will of the people.
