Oh, I can tell you who is better off because of Brexit. Those business, “insiders,” who got tip offs from inside Westminster and who, “shorted,” (bet against) the Pound on the international markets. They made a killing and went back for seconds when Liz Truss told her, “think tanks,” all about her insane Neo-Liberal plan to turn Britain’s entire economy over to the business owners. One cannot help wondering how much of that was her and Kwasi Kwarteng and how much of it was the brainwashing of those quangos and far right infiltration units that she spent all of her free time plotting with? Because she really behaved like a Manchurian Candidate throughout her mercifully brief tenure.
But we must never be tempted to fall for the line that, just because the country has been haemorrhaging money, someone in-country hasn’t been profiting. That way, madness lies. We often think policy makers are being wilfully self destructive and even illogical, but there’s always an evil method to their madness.
And, of course, Boris profited immensely, as he was able to back-stab his way to power, which he would have sustained, even (dare I say) maintained to this day with laurels to polish, if only he’d had just enough of an IQ not to mess it up, so wilfully and in such an entitled, spoiled, idiotically callous fashion. But he did profit by Brexit, along with all those who hung on his coat tails, and whom we witness publishing bitter memoirs or galavanting in jungles to be tormented by the British viewing public.
At least the people who vote to toss a former MP into a pit of black widows, or to eat a rhino’s testicles, know their votes have a more meaningful outcome (certainly more gratifying) than general enfranchisement has granted them in the last 20 years.
