Robert,
One of the things that has shocked and angered many in the UK about Brexit has been the hostility from Europe. Many, like May, thought they would respect the democratic vote in the UK, understand and accept we were leaving and work towards creating an outcome that would be mutually beneficial. We are, after all, a major and important ally.
Instead, the reaction of Brussels has been overly aggressive with language used that you would expect at a time of hostility. Personally, this was no real surprise to me, having been reading about how the EU operates since 2013 and there were many in the UK who warned of what to expect.
But don't underestimate the anger of ordinary people, who don't appear on TV or otherwise shout very loud about this. Friends who were remainers have been so shocked by this, they want nothing more to do with the EU. Including not holidaying there (not many Brits will be this year as data shows) as they are so angry. Mainly the anger is towards our own Government, but there is a latent anger towards the EU as well.
The Tory party members are now in full swing in the process of deselecting the worst of the turncoat MP's, some who are still being supported by May, despite their doing their utmost to overturn Brexit, so out of tune has the Parliamentary party become with the grassroots, funding is drying up to the extent there are warnings they can't even fight an election.
At Dominic Grieves recent vote of no-confidence, which naturally he has blamed on UKIP members who have joined the party, which isn't supported by those in the know, the sense of distrust between local activists and those who run the Tories has reached such a low, that the lady activists watching over the proceedings insisted that the vote be counted in front of them and not taken away to be counted in private.
Seriously, if a meaningful Brexit isn't delivered, don't imagine for one moment it will ever go away and it will either happen or the EU will change so much, as most believe it has to, to simply survive, that Brexit is no longer needed.
