Brexit passed by 2%, and had it been sold as “hard Brexit” it wouldn’t have passed at all. Academia was overwhelmingly opposed. The idea that “the UK is slowly realizing” this just seems odd and not in line with the reality of the situation

Academia is a very small part of the electorate. Academia, and anyone in the sciences, by and large, have always known. The Brexit populace and their media, you could argue, are slowly realising. The vote was an emotional and not a cold and rational vote of course. Whether rationality and practicality is overriding emotions at the moment is debatable.
