It won't be reversed? I dunno about that. Article 50 has a very clear and specifically-worded clause for re-entry, and many eyes are on that prize. When you consider the numbers, however you slice it, brexit was not a majority 'vote'*, its zealots are dying out in droves due to age and corona, to be replaced with (generally) savvier more progressive younger voters, who are not voting Tory - and certainly not whatever the present equivalent of UKIP is. As it's become clear, brexit was a lame-duck vanity project which has already fallen on its arse to most people's thunderous lack of surprise, and its reversal is all but inevitable - it's a matter of when, and under who's directive, not if.
As for 'whining', whatever you call it, my view is that it is important that those who were seduced into voting* for this train wreck are made aware of the very real consequences of their actions, to reckon with the likelihood that their choice was motivated by insidious xenophobia at best and downright racism at worst - whatever the thin fig leaf du jour is, the 'sovereignty' fallacy, etc. To reckon with the fact that they are complicit in that and the UK's tarnished global reputation. As 'Project Fear'/Reality has been made very apparent for at least 5 years, the brexiteer gullibility cannot be a blameless accident, but a choice. Mockery at least introduces the notion that perhaps they were wrong, and that a narrowly-successful vote* does not mean infallibility.
* not a vote, a poll - subtle but important difference.
