What Emily describes as “an act of national insanity” is actually the ultimate expression of democracy in action. The referendum was fairly funded and democratically endorsed.
I frequently do or say things that I regret. As an adult, I am expected to take responsibility for my foolishness and I expect Emily to do the same.
I estimate that for every dozen leave voters who regret there is a corresponding dozen remain voters who regret.

Of course not, they already have hundreds of commentators (including Emily) who generate “content” for free.

In the meantime, watch Nigel Farage exult in the mandate that YOU and millions like you, have given him:
