1. I've long thought Brexit was done to protect The City

which is a square mile in central London where all the financial movers and shakers are and which is specifically exempted from any oversight via British law.

It is also one the money laundering capital of the planet. You can bet Putin's billions have passed through The City on their way into real estate, yachts, and numbered bank accounts, along with those of every dictator who has ripped off his country and its people, along with drug cartel money, arms running money, and worse.

I think the financial regulators in Brussels were getting a little too nosy. That's why the billionaires and every thug on the planet was in favor of this, chipping in to run an emotional campaign, an early "Make the UK Great Again" sort of thing to reset the clock to back when people were young and learning a trade from dear old Dad, or whatever. Throw some xenophobia along with the nostalgia, that's how the pigs preserved their trough.
