      That was a nonbinding referendum! That somehow bound the UK to the outcome. Totally different.

        Sure it was only the voting public’s marginal preference at one point in time and it matches exactly with Russian geopolitical aims and it’s a non-binding referendum pushed by moneyed interests and it was never going to be a good idea but that’s what it looks like to have a mandate for abandoning free trade, international standards, freedom of movement, and a privileged status in the federation.
