Aye, Brexit is essentially just a change in terms and conditions though. I'm still betting that it will be symbolic and ineffectual, other than appeasing Little Britain. Fuck it, keep them happy and quiet.
Trump is very much real and proactive and current.

I'd have said precisely the opposite - Trump is just a new figurehead, but the change is limited to what one person can force through. Brexit represents a fundamental change to our rights, and to how our economy is configured...
You could argue though, that the current stage is more like the "president elect" period - Brexit hasn't yet happened, so no one feels justified in fully attacking it. In the same way that the criticism of Trump has launched in earnest since he came into power.
Alternatively, lack of press might be because our press is owned (in the most part) by Eurosceptic lunatics who support what is happening, whereas Trump has launched a vendetta against the press

Yeah, that was that clip of the Fox fella last night getting stroppy about the 'lies'.
I'm still puzzled by the lack of strength and coordination of the "Brexit is a bad idea so let's see if we can come up with a better idea" movement. The Americans are putting us to shame. I suspect the situation may not be helped by the fact that Brexit is all a bit abstract, not much has really happened, and the impact will only become apparent over the longer term. (And our overly-dominant rabid right-wing press shouting down any dissent of course.)
