It's funny how our politicians seem to have interpreted the 'leave' option to embrace several other options that we didn't even know about.
Same here, and the government sent us all a leaflet to tell us what we were voting for. This was pointed out in no uncertain terms by the audience on Question Time from Barnsley on 15/12/17
I haven't watched every news broadcast since then, but on those I have, I think I've seen a slightly more aggressive or pro - Brexit stance towards the Remainers, including MPs, both Labour & Conservative parties
Last opinion poll I heard (Yougov I think) is that only 15% of people now wish to remain in the EU
BBC, Sky, and most of the the rest of the media were notoriously pro Remain, but I wonder if the message is slowly sinking in, that the majority of the electorate are fed up with the antics of the Remainers, and, if only cynically, they'd better look to the future of their jobs & positions
