People were misled (some people) and some.of them will be worse off for it, which isn't really their fault
Some of them were mislead sure, but there's an awful lot of people who are no smarter than me or better informed who voted for it. I didn't trust a single thing Farage et al said - why on earth did they? I find it bewildering.
Of all the people I know who voted leave (actually only five of them have admitted it, I'm sure there's more) one was a doctor (if there's one profession that should know not to trust a Tory govt, surely that's it?). Another was a politically informed (and I thought aligned) IT professional - particularly shocked by that one given he was working on a long term consultancy contract in France at the time.
I agree with @rodan - I think most Leave voters now need to shoulder significantly more responsibility than saying 'I was lied to by a bus'.
Fuck those that are now having to deal with the consequences of their actions - maybe they'll learn something from it.

As human nature or divine humour would have it, this group of people is usually the most vocal about other people assuming “personal responsibility”. En masse, they have yet to see the irony or the error of their ways.
