After an immediate reaction to the Leave vote in the referendum most indicators are recovering well. This is to be expected because, in reality Brexit was the "Remain" vote, where little changes, and "Remain" was the vote for change and full political union with the EU around 2025. The BBC is making out that a financial disaster is in progress, they are irresponsible in the extreme, attacking the British people and economy, hoping to create the damage needed to justify another referendum.
So what is happening?
Most fascinating of all of the reactions to Brexit is the intervention by the "Eurogroup", this is the first mention of the powerful Eurogroup in the press. Never heard of them? They are the incipient government of the Eurozone (See What the EU Referendum is Really About). The USA has also not stopped campaigning and Obama is still issuing threats, warning that the UK would be at the back of the queue for a trade deal - of course, neither the EU nor the UK has a trade deal with the USA at present so the threats are empty.
The continuation of campaigning by the BBC suggests that there is agitation for another referendum. The Leave campaigners should be aware of this threat.
There is already organised pressure for a second referendum. This demonstrates that the EU is a totalitarian enterprise that will brook no opposition. It is our moral duty to oppose it. If this Parliament passes legislation to enable any second EU Referendum before a full brexit has been effected and five or ten years allowed to pass then Leave campaigners might boycott such a referendum and might sound out any friends in the Armed Services and Police as to whether they will fight for the UK or the EU. This will allow the Brexit campaign to assess the degree to which the Establishment has the power to mount a coup against the People.
The problem of an Elite in Parliament using a petition to overturn a referendum is quite new. Let us hope that Parliamentarians have the good sense to respect the referendum result and allow at least one General Election to pass, where the people can inspect a manifesto pledge to hold a second referendum and also an absolute minimum of 5 years to elapse so that the actual effects of a Brexit are known.
If this Parliament were to simply overturn the current referendum and stage another in the hope of getting the desired result we really would be experiencing an Establishment coup. How could the People oppose such an event? Given that it would be Parliament versus the people there would be no "neverendum" because once the "correct" result was obtained further referendums would not be allowed by the Parliament.
An Establishment coup would be a very serious event. The first stage of opposition to a second referendum would occur after Parliament announces the date of a vote for another referendum to overturn the first. Civil disobedience, especially blocking roads with slow moving traffic and pedestrians and boycotting all business transactions except the minimum required to live will send a clear message to Parliament. This might continue for days or even weeks before Parliament votes. During this process groups of three or four individuals would be formed to act independently so that if there were arrests of the leadership the struggle would continue.
