The people of the UK voted to leave the EU. That's when the Establishment started a war of sabotage. The sabotage is aimed at making Brexit impossible, costly and unpleasant so it loses its support. The stayers want a new vote when they feel Brexit lost the support of the majority.
One way of doing this is the "rigemarole"invented by the English,.
King Edward the third had conquered Scotland and made the Chiefteins of the Scottish clans sign a document called the 'Ragman Roll' that in fact ceded Scotland to the British crown. As an insurance, he took to England the coronation stone of Scotland, the Stone of Scone.
Fast forward to Edward's rather sissy son whose army the Scots beat at decisively. The English sued for peace. Fine, said the Scots, here is what we want. 4000 pounds of silver, the Stone of Scone and the Ragman Rolls. The English forked over the money and then they started negotiating. Who should negotiate? Where? What should be the shape of the table? Who should provide food? Who should pay for it?
The Scots never got back the Stone or the Ragman Rolls. The letter was abbreviated to ragama role and entered the English dictionary as "rigemarole".
