A German documentary (it has English subtitles for the German narration)): British Fishermen and Brexit | ARTE.tv Documentary link A financial times article on Brexit - The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK | FT Film this video A TLDR from earlier this week: No-one Likes Brexit Anymore: What Happens Next? link (the main part on this relevant is the polling and the corresponding events) --- There's a fair bit of Brexit-regret going on now and some people apparently still think its a good idea. At the time of the referendum, it appears that quite a few people who did a day's work in Britain thought that it was a good idea, but have since come to realize that it wasn't.
