As a VERY conflicted and weary UK citizen, I have heard one semi-plausible theory as to how the country could get out of this.
It's plausible that the new Prime Minister, be it Boris or someone else, will use the change in leadership of both the Tories and likely Labour (Jeremy Corbin unsurprisingly just lost an internal party no-confidence vote due to his near-universally panned contributions to the Remain campaign) as a face-saving excuse to hold a general election - that the parties all have new leaders and probably platforms and positions is a nice, legitimate reason to call one. If the Labour leader explicitly adopts a 'ignore the referendum' position as the Liberal Democrats have already done (or very unlikely the new Tory leader does too), then the panicking Remain voters and the Bregreters will use it as a chance for a UNDO button. As the news keeps screaming at us, nothing is official until we activate article 50. If the 18-30 year old voters alone showed up in greater number's it'd almost certainly swing it for cancelling. (Of the 18-30 population over 75% were in favour of Remain, but only 25% of the eligible voters actually turned up to vote.)
Failing that, the idea of a Scotland Veto isn't completely out of the question depending on how desperate the higher ups are for a valid excuse to undo it. Or Her Majesty could speak in public in a disapproving tone about the leaving plans - she so rarely ever comments on politics that it'd be a weighty event. (Very unlikely but not impossible)
Or it could be true that the media is inflating all this hysteria, and after what I assume will be a VERY rocky and destitute decade or so, that Britain would end up stronger for leaving. Except for the loss of 50% of the Union, and god knows how much economic and international prestige and prosperity in the process. Sigh.
Or the EU could actually start implementing reforms and listening to it's internal critics - as likely as baboons flying out of Nigel Farage's ass, but hey-ho.
In summation i'd like to quote a trending tweet - "The US and UK are currently having a 'who can screw up their country the most' competition. The UK is ahead, but the US has the Trump Card!"
