What gave you any idea that we (the voting public in UK) , have any control over anything? There is no real democracy in UK, thare hasn't been for years. When was the last time we had an elected Prime Minister in UK? The Brexit question was conjured up as a distraction from the real thing we wanted to be able to change, our government, but both possibilities now practice the same neoliberal lunacy, there wasn't any choice, so they gave us Brexit, and we voted pretty much the opposite direction from what was being dictated.
You are mistaken if you think the average Brit is somehow hostile to Europe, or isolated in any way, most of us have travelled and even lived in Europe, owning properties and whatever.
Your problem is that you are believing the lies being poured on you from the European neoliberals who want to dominate the world, nothing suits them better than to have folk like you pointing fingers at us, saying we are to blame for whatever.
Look above you my friend, if you are looking for someone to blame.
