17.4 million people decided one day to take an astronomical gamble on my family's future for something they wanted and we did not.

Instead of doing so apologetically, they did it with brutal triumphalism.

It's hard to think of a way in which that is forgivable.
"We'd like to take this huge gamble and we understand you might not be happy with it but we'd like to persuade you that we're not crazy and we will do everything in our power to make it work for everyone."

That might have been acceptable.
Many are in fact openly unapologetic about it being a gamble.

Here's the shameless Robert Tombs: "Brexit is fundamentally a gamble on the nation, warts and all."

They actively sought disruption.

That arrogance should be met with nothing but contempt.
