    I mean, I think that the metaphor of a single individual doesn’t work all that well. The UK is a group, not a single person, just a group that can only make one collective decision. There are a bunch of Brits who wanted to Remain, and by-and-large, those people still want to be in. There are a bunch of other Brits who wanted to Leave, and by-and-large, those people still want out. The margin that’s changed their mind is relatively-small. It’s just that the vote was a pretty close one. The UK in 2026 doesn’t look all that different from the UK a decade back.

      Yes and if we’re going to continue the original metaphor with groups, some of the group that continued for a lock-in are now being sick on themselves as well…
