I lived through that in my company that had a lot of older Brits. There was a lot of people openly brexiter or happy with the results.

Now it's harder. It will become like Iraq 2003… where most people were in favour but you can't find anyone admitting it today'

There were massive protests, but the majority of people asked at the time were in favour of the war. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/12483-remembering-iraq

Why? is it clear that it would have been better to remain? I think it is difficult to say, if economy is not going well I think it would go the same if you were in EU, no?
