I made this remark elsewhere:

Brexit seems to have transcended politics and become almost a religion.

Cheers for proving the point. If you aren't prepared to even consider changing your point of view based on the available evidence that's your problem.
Your remark suggests a profound lack of confidence. If there's so little confidence that 'you brexiteers' can't handle the scrutiny of the position that's a better argument for continuing to question it than I could ever make.

On the flip side here's the Chancellor, changing his thoughts based on circumstances.
Quote:
The chancellor has said controversial Treasury analysis of the economic shock the UK might face if it left the European Union is now "partially invalid".
It is a significant break with his predecessor, George Osborne, and with what became known by critics of the Remain campaign as "Project Fear".
Philip Hammond said some of the assumptions behind the document - which suggested a significant drop in economic growth - had been superseded by events.
Those close to the chancellor made it clear the models were not wrong for the time, but the circumstances had now changed.
--
Firstly, the government did not immediately trigger Article 50 to start the two-year process for leaving the EU.
Secondly, the models proposed for Britain's future relationship with the EU were too "fixed" and that Britain was looking for a "bespoke deal".

Naturally immediately seized on in the comments section by people desperate to claim conspiracy, Project Fear, etc.
Good to see one group, at least, happy to change position based on data.
