Did I mention the assets managed by his financial affairs firm stand to increase in value by £200m once Brexit occurs?

I'm going to mopping up quite nicely myself once you leave, too.

Do hurry on.

How does that happen? We were told brexit was going to destroy the British economy.

There is such a thing as disaster capitalism, my dear Ethel. It is when corporations manage to turn death and destruction into a healthy profit for their shareholders.

As this is a no-judgement thread, I will admit that I Iow-key appreciate Mr Rees-Mogg, both politically and aesthetically.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Cause he's a fucking parasite. I don't know the ins and outs of it but it's surprising just how many senior Brexiteers have interests in areas that stand to make a lot of money once we crash out...

As I said, disaster capitalism. Suffering is profit, morality and compassion are for the weak.

Well, it is a hedge fund group he's involved in, neh. Riding the spike before the dive is par for the course.

Like Farage conceding on the night of the vote causing a spike in the currency before Sunderland's result came in and collapsed it permanently.

Wasn't a big gap between the two but I bet his mates in the City made bundles.

We're going to have less control of our destiny outside the EU than in as we currently stand, taking heavily marked up cans of chlorinated chicken off the septics and god knows what else from whomever wants an easy target.

Many things are, this is why a revolution without violence is unfortunately not possible.

The next person who asks what happened to me will be allowed to hear an exciting story of riding a dinosaur to Mars and then falling off after realising that the dinosaur was actually ISIS. Then, after falling back to Earth, there was a terrible attack by tigers.

Exactly that.

Oh I know how to short sell, do a LBO, And legally bust out a company.

Valuation is a different thing.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The Forecasting is the wet dream of both economists and politicians on all sides at the moment, still nothing to actually really pay attention to. Talks aren't nowhere enough near completion or safe from further upsets for solid numbers.

Wrong, comrade. Liberal internationalism and its erosion of solidarity and community in favour of consumerism, selfishness, and rootlessness is against the revolution.
