[Mister Rog]

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if an 'event' happens that leads the Government to overrule the referendum result in the 'national interest'. 

I'm absolutely sure that's what will happen - whether or not that's likely to trigger a complete implosion in the (current) Tory party.

Despite how I voted I don't think they will be able to ignore the continuously falling exchange rate, share prices etc and not do something to protect the interests of the corporate world (which, in reality, tends to be our interests too as they pay our wages in one way shape or form), even if it means career suicide.

Ho hum.

I don't think that will happen. The Tory party wold be in 10 times the chaos Labour are currently in, within 24 hours. It will be more subtle than that. They may well try to leave us with one foot in and one foot out though, to try to pleas everyone to some extent and end up pleasing no-one.
Aka - the good old British compromise.
I hope I'm wrong and Theresa turns out to be the next Thatcher and wipes the floor with every "wet" in sight. 

Jean-Claude Juncker will not let that happen, he's made that clear. He's a major reason for the Brexit vote, and his attitude since makes it almost impossible for UK not to press on. If the UK were to somehow back down on Brexit, Junker and the EU would crap on us from a great height.

Despite all the rhetoric, they want our money. The Germans in particular. Juncker has no real power. Merkel runs the EU.
