I'm definitely just a dumb American but I love how apparently "What is Brexit" was the biggest UK web search the day it got approved.

To be fair that is because it was sold to the public on outright lies and the readings of a couple of unscrupulous twats.

Johnson for example had always been pro-eu and reportedly had two articles written, one remain and one leave, and based his decision of which one to publish on which was more politically expedient for him, not on what he actually thought was better for the country.
