Well hey, the opposition are not going to oblige.

Just as the likes of UKIP would not have shut up had remain won on a similar margin.

We still have relatively free speech in this country, where citizens are allowed to question government decisions. Dissent is not going to go away.
This has nothing to do with silencing anybody - the people had a say, en masse, in 2016 and again in 2017, they decided they want to leave the EU.

Dissent is cured by means of a Democracy, where people can choose freely to vote on issues at hand, we do not live in a dictatorship, but you want us to live in one, where democratic results are overturned by repetitive referendums because a minority disagree with the decision of the first.
