Do agree. It was funny how overnight, even on Thursday evening, you could see Boris' stock falling. Images of him in papers changed, and he went from friendly and engaging, to villain.
Cameron's stock couldn't be higher despite his errors. Cameron wasn't backed up by others (another of his failings maybe). Not only his trusted political friends - Gove, Borris, Hane - but by Labour and others like Teresa May in the Conservatives who took a back seat and left it all to Cameron and Osbourne. Was essentially these two against Boris, Gove, and UKIP. No one thought we would ultimately leave, and they didn't get too involved. These people also carry the blame in my opinion, as do the press.
Seemingly completely un-criticised, much of the press has overnight turned tail. Reading the Daily Mail this morning, you'd never have guessed they were pro-Brexit. Its astonishing. The Times even more so. From the Sunday Times coming out for Brexit, a day or so later, they are full of stories on the UKs perils in a Brexit world. But there are no stories like "Press leads People into a Blind Alley over Europe" of course.
The press has chipped away at the EU for decades. Stories about bananas actually pretty funny and good to read (as opposed to the boring functional reality of the EU which is far from interesting). Combining superficial disdain for johnny foreigner and a sense of external control of our Great Britain, they were onto a winner. Now suddenly, overnight, there's a shift, no one external to blame anymore. Instead they are facing up to the post-Brexit mess that many predicted; but not the right wing press. Why not? And how do they continue talking about the malaise in the UK now, without once referring to their own papers contradictory approach and their role in helping to bring about a Leave vote?
