UK split by Brexit divide 2 years after vote to leave EU

It's been two years since the shoppers and traders of London's Romford market voted by a wide margin for their country to leave the European Union.

Enthusiasm for Brexit in this working-class district on the British capital's eastern edge hasn't dimmed. But with Britain still not out the EU exit door and negotiations slowed to a crawl, impatience is growing.

"I think most people are just fed up," said fishmonger Dave Crosbie.

"It seems that you take two steps forward and all of a sudden you've got to take a step back."
Asked by pollsters how well Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative-led government is handling negotiations, most Britons reply: "badly."
Public opinion expert John Curtice, a professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, said Britons are "deeply critical, deeply dubious, about what Brexit is going to bring."
"That hasn't persuaded, however, most people to change their minds," he said today. "This country remains split down the middle on Brexit in exactly the same way as it was two years ago."
Brexit-supporting newspapers depict Parliament as a nest of traitorous "remainiacs" determined to overturn the popular will. The Sun accused pro-EU lawmakers of a "great betrayal," and the Daily Mail branded judges who ruled against the government "enemies of the people."
