the blame will be laid firmly at the feet of the British People "nuffin' to do with us guv - we were only doing what you asked us to do"

I doubt it. It will be blamed on the EU, and those who asked them not to do it. I would like to see some of our Brexiteers saying "We take all responsibility for this, good or ill. We won't blame the EU, or May, or the judges or anyone else. We decided and insisted on this, knowing all the predictions and the EU's likely stance. We are willing to accept anything arising. It is no-one else's fault."

I don't expect to hear it, though.
