"The U.K. Brexit was rallied against pre referendum and yet lost." The contrast in fact couldn't be greater: The BBC was put on what one ex BBC producer called "a war footing" to oppose Scottish Independence whist on Brexit they actually gifted Farage an unprecedented free platform for years to build UKIP momentum. Meanwhile, nearly the entire mainstream media opposed Independence... whist Brexit was actually supported by the majority selling mainstream media: Mail, Express, Sun, etc who otherwise had been running an anti EU propaganda campaign for decades. "...pragmatic commentary that doing something will make more difference than doing nothing, which is true, no matter how that pans out." hmm...The irony of presenting "But we've got to do something..." as some kind of pragmatic wisdom for supporting Brexit seriously makes my point: It's been that very mantra which the mainstream media have evoked to drum up support for every disastrous UK military "Intervention" worldwide. - I think we already know how following that kind of approach "pans out".
