This is high art. This needs to be on display at the Tate.
For the non-Brits, who is this guy?
Jacob Rees-Mogg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Rees-Mogg
Incidentally, the hedge fund he co-founded just announced it was shutting down: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67648262
Is there actual reason to think this guy had something like a short position on the British economy before contributing to Brexit or is it just a meme
There’s the small matter of his Dad, a former editor of The Times, having written a book about how to profit from disaster capitalism.
The apple didn’t fall from the tree
This is what people not from the UK (and a fair few who are) always fail to recognise: the Upper Class are engaged in economic war against everyone else, their goal is to maintain a local hegemony and they have been doing this continuously since at least the 11th Century.
A revolution would be glorious.
Lol
That’s something, I guess. Maybe we wouldn’t know specifically how he took advantage of it because the trades aren’t public record.
There’s every reason to get believe the worst about this guy, he’s so evil he would be out of place as a comic book villain. Well, maybe unless it was one of those edgy political comics.
That said the cash is just a side effect and the actual reason he put this together, as i understand it, is to get revenge for Britain banning fox hunting.

He’s the worst.
The worst kind of conservative, notorious for things like sleeping in parliament, and being vocally and actively anti-choice while profiteering from the sale of abortion pills, but gets away with much much worse.
Smarmy cunt.Walter the softy.

As a note, the guys who publish these mashups are called PoliticsJOE and they have a great YouTube channel for independent British news.
They also for some reason publish these.
Not that I dislike the videos, that’s how I found the channel.
It’s just they make up maybe 5% of the posted content (the rest of which is actual journalism lol).

I’m pretty sure it’s just because they dislike immigrants
The elite love immigrants. Why pay a stuck up English cunt £35000pa when you can get a desperate migrant that’s willing to live in your slum and work for minimum wage?
Immigration was just a useful tool to turn the plebs against the EU whilst the elite worked to protect the game that they’ve rigged against the average man.
Exactly. Don’t mistake conservative politicians for their knuckle dragging electorate.
Is this how they love in UK?
It’s a type of love
two things can be true at the same time
One does not exclude the other.
