Very cool, if true

In case you lack specific knowledge of him, J R-M manages a hedge fund. And as I understand it he's shorting the London stock market shamelessly in anticipation of a no-deal Brexit, while having moved his own investments out of the UK.

He's basically a traitorious disaster capitalist—there's no point in mincing words here: he actively wants to damage his own country for profit. Ideology is secondary (although he's got plenty of it, all totally barking mad in a manner that's probably familiar to anyone who monitors the spread of extreme authoritarian conservativism in the US republican party).

It says something about his lack of political interest that he's never been offered so much as a junior minister's portfolio. To put it bluntly: his own Conservative Party superiors distrust him.
