The British people voted to exit the EU.
But, as I said, Brexit ain't gonna happen
.. the powers that are will not allow Britain to exit the European Union.
Immediately after the result was announced the campaign for a "revote", which would give the voters the chance to correct their wrong views, began. Here is a glimpse. First a BBC editor:

"See, the people did not really mean it," says the official mouthpiece of the ruling powers.
"Most told us," is of course always fine to manipulate opinions. But "most" of what?
Here is another obvious spin:
The Independent @Independent
So many people are signing the petition for a second #EUref the government site has crashed -> Brexit: Petition for second EU referendum so popular the government site's crashing

That Independent tweet did wonders. The petition site was suddenly so "crashed" and "inaccessible" that only 15,710 people signed on within just the last hour.
So The Independent had a bad web connection? Or was it the point of the tweet and article to drive the people to the well accessible site?
And what please is the democratic legitimization of some ad-hoc petition with 100,000 signatories, many possibly by artificial entities, when millions just decided deliberately and consciously after an exhausting discussion of the question?
The powers that are on both sides of the Atlantic will use all means to reverse the decision of the British people. Or to make it irrelevant. The high-powered, opinion leading media tweets above are just the start of the #ReverseBrexit campaign. It will intensify and blare through all channels.
It will require diligence and hard work by the majority that voted for Brexit to see their will fulfilled.
