David Cameron, head of government at the time, was the one who called the Brexit vote. Government isn't to blame?
The government basically had an American gas station diarrhea moment and the best they could manage on their way out was to use a single toilet paper square on their own arses. Now we still have their crap smears all over the place and it stinks more each day.
That's not to say people who voted for it aren't to blame either, but there are multiple parties who contributed to this bomb. Voters, politicians, rich people (especially the media empire moguls).
Politicians who pushed for it? Yes. Regular governmental employees, who are working in a highly politicized environment and hoping to even still have a job tomorrow? No. (Unless they voted or pushed for Brexit themselves, of course.)
Civil service? Entirely agree.
