'The driver, he shout down to the man at the toll gate;
I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows
I got all livestock.
When he safely through he shout back down the line:
Fooled you, fooled you,
I got pig iron, I got all pig iron.'
This is pretty much what the leading Brexiteers said immediately after winning the vote by a modest margin.
If they admit they won by lying, how can they claim that the voice of the people has spoken immutably?
