Conty would have us believe that all those in favor of Brexit are conservative little Englanders like him, they aren't. He'd also have us believe that all those opposed to Brexit are "unwashed lefties" like these lawyers acting on behalf of a group of business people and academics presumably. It's never so simple.
Originally it was the Tories who were pro integration into the common market and Labour who were opposed, people are only now starting to remember Corbyn's vote against membership of the EEC in 1975. That changed after Blair but Corbyn decidedly isn't Blair but rather a member of Labour's socialist old guard
Well, you know. If you're out protesting to try and force the government to ignore the result of a vote you lost, you're in the same boat as a bunch of smelly students who now want to disenfranchise the old because they had the sheer audacity to vote the *wrong* way.
You know, the blatantly undemocratic shit that is the hallmark of campus leftism.
And that "DURR HURR DURR THE TORIES TOOK US INTO EUROPE" thing is just a straight up genetic fallacy.
The EEC as it was then is a vastly different concept to the rotten edifice the EU has turned into. A common market is something we like, handing over our sovereignty to a multinational body we have barely any say in...not so much.
Brexit had a thin majority on a question that was asked without any forethought about what to do next as the 350 million quid back to the NHS clearly shows. The voters were also told upfront that the referendum was not binding bit rather "advisery. Also the EEC of the seventies doesn't exist, you're stuck with the EU and you have four options.
Norway, pay the dues and accept the rules. Like the status quo but worse because you have no representation at all.
Canada, free trade excluding services which are most of your economy.
The rest of the world, tariffs a mile high and you're in competition with the EU superstate in most markets.
Admit you goofed and come back to the EU with your tail between your legs.
Face it, Brexiters left-right and barking mad all have one thing in common. They don't have a clue what to do if they get what they want. You included!
