I can’t think of many commemorative coins that aren’t produced (and even available) before the event has happened? Aside from memorial coins (Churchill, Diana and the Queen Mother) every commemorative coin is available beforehand. I suppose Brexit was a bit different though, as getting it through Parliament was a nightmare until the general election. There’s certainly no harm in it being produced now.
The Liberal Democrats need to get over it - it’s happening whether they like it or not. The irony is that their leader Jo Swinson, despite being a staunch remainer, failed to retain her seat as her Scottish voters (you know, those apparent staunch remainers being forced out of the EU against their will) didn’t vote her back in.
You conveniently fail to note that Swinson lost her seat to the SNP, who are not exactly known for their full-blooded support for Brexit, and who more generally achieved a convincing victory in Scotland. General elections are about more than one issue; if this one had only been about Brexit, there'd have been no votes for any party other than the Lib Dems and Brexit Party, while in reality neither of those parties performed well.
More generally, can we stop with the "XXX need to get over it" please? The whole point of a democracy is that people are free to campaign for policies that they believe in. Just because you lose a given election or referendum does not mean that you instantly are converted to whatever the result was. When Labour wins general elections we never expect the Tories to say, "Oh yes, of course you were right all along, we're all going to join Labour and depart from everything we've ever said we believe in", and vice versa. I really don't understand why the situation should be any different in a referendum. Yes, the result is what it is, Brexit is happening. Fine. But I object in the strongest possible terms to any suggestion that any political issue is done and dusted. That way lies dictatorship. A decision has been arrived at on Brexit, which is in force until another democratic decision amends or reverses it. That is how democracy works.
Leave won the referendum. Leave have now won the parliamentary wrangling. Leave now have the responsibility to negotiate in the country's best interests, and can be expected to be held to account for what they do. You won; get over it
