If that’s a conclusion from Owen’s several arguments above it is a fallacy. Those arguments were against certain lines of campaigning and at least some of them were IMO valid. But the generalisation to accepting the ref. result as inevitable and permanent is unjustified.
In addition, a reduction of faith in the UK’s supposedly very old and pretty certainly obsolete and decrepit democracy may not be such a bad thing. (reposted from FB)
