Being British I will chime in here, Brexit was a catastrophically bad idea mostly promoted by a vocal segment of the Conservative Party, they sold it obviously as something that would 'unleash' the UK's potential that they said the EU was holding back, it didnt because it was a terrible idea rooted in backward looking hubris, anger and jealousy of German manufacturing and a nostalgic desire to return to the good old days when you could buy a really crappy British car made by a low paid British factory worker (sound familiar!!), no one wanted to admit the truth that the UK is bog awful at making things.
Because the UK outside the EU was always going to the poverty-stricken sinking rat hole that it immediately became the morons promoting Brexit looked around for someone to blame for the UK being pretty crap at pretty much everything.
Carney very vocally warned voters that jumping off a cliff economically was a really really bad idea and they have never forgiven him for that, he was a pretty good chancellor, it is partly due to him Brexit wasnt as bad as economists predicted but he was blamed because it turned out the sun doesn't shine out of the UK's jacksie and countries (especially the US) weren't lining up to give us chunks of their market to make up for the loss of the EU, the twats blaming Carney are the same f*** wits that claimed Brexit would, and I quote, 'be all the easiest trade deal in history' and the EU would give us totally free access without asking the UK to follow their rules, this plan was summed up by Boris Johnson as 'get cake, eat cake'
