Only a sort of cover version of ours, though.

Not wishing to offer a "judicious use of numbers" here are all of the stats referred to in the Guardian piece about the Opinium poll that I linked to. I think they speak for themselves; those responding do not regard the vermin's Brexit as successful by their own criteria:

Well, yeah...I suppose so, but no-one else was going to implement it, were they?
Always fascinating to contemplate the 'world-view' of any of those 7% who think that Brexit has helped keep down prices in UK shops!

I'm old enough to remember this at the time. In fact, we knew someone who mended sewing machines, who was bitterly opposed to not just metrication, but decimalisation - even into the 1980s, his invoice was in £sd."Market traders were literally going to prison"? Really? I thought traders were free to trade it metric and "imperial" if they wanted to. I remember reading a Sun headline about "metric martyrs", but assumed it was typical Sun bullshit. Will do a google...
ETA: google done. The main reference to a "metric martyr" I can find is a guy called Steve Thoburn from Sunderland, who was handed a conditional discharge (so didn´t go to gaol) in 2001. Later he died, in 2004, from a heart attack, aged 39. There are some others, who also got a conditional discharge.
If you can hold your nose to open it, even the DM admits trying to revive the moribund cause of "imperial" measures is pointless.
Government abandons plan to expand the use of imperial measures
A plan to expand the use of imperial measures has been abandoned. The decision means that most goods will be sold by law using the metric system, apart from exceptions like pints of beer and milk.www.dailymail.co.uk
But there was a lot of what we'd now think of as conspiracy theorising amongst the anti-metric lot - everyone had a friend-of-a-friend who'd been busted for selling in imperial quantities.

That, or they believed the stuff put out by the paper who showed you Lady Di frolicking in yesterday's Snowmageddon in the biggest freeze since 13,000 bc....

Yeah, well, he was pumping out all kinds of implausible shit pretty much from the off. Ridiculous man.
But redundant that.
It’s a poll about what’s actually happened. Not hypothetical fantasies.

If ‘The Government’s implementation of….’ should precede each statement, and ‘Brexit’ is a made up meaningless word, then maybe things should start with ‘The Government’s implementation of the leave victory for the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which hasn’t been implemented as voted for……’

Rees-Mogg also said there would be no real benefit from Brexit for 50 years. It's almost as if the best strategy was anything that would maximise confusion.

Tbf once people's wages moved from making them well off to breadline they stopped buying wine and clothes and scrimped like fuck on the food, so Mogg's right about that.

I saw another poll today with a similar percentage of the population thinking Richard Tice would make the best prime minister. I mean I know the standard is pretty low these days, but Tice? Golf club bigot in a blazer, kind of like Farage without the chumminess. I guess GB news and the express must have done a number on their branes.
The road to contrition: how Brexit is paving our way back into the EU
Brexit hasn't failed, it’s convincing voters we do need to be a member of the EU in the only way that was ever going to succeed

Ruminating on how the disaster that is Brexit is becoming a motivation for rejoining.
I'm not sure I agree with it completely but YMMV. I suspect that now many of the headbangers have waned, we'll see standards tied to the EU and a closer relationship on many levels, and that'll be deemed enough. Sadly England being absorbed into a federal Europe isn't very likely.
