To think brexit rewards bankers

Bankers cause financial crash
Financial crash leads to austerity
Austerity leads to leave vote
Leave vote leads to UK becoming tax haven beloved by bankers

AIBU to think they win this game every time?

Yes agreed, some very wealthy people will be betting on the country failing and will be wealthy directly from it.
Same as the sub prime mortgages a few people became wealthy because of that.
Broadly I don’t think it will make many people wealthy, it will be a case that the wealthy and privileged who can insulate themselves from difficult economic and social conditions.
There is a global economic slowdown but as always the elite still manage to syphon enormous wealth and the rest of society suffer the consequences.

Sorry clicked too soon
I agree with the tax haven issues, but more worrying than that will be the tax compromises we will have to give business to persuade them to stay / operate in the U.K.

we will also have absolutely no influence in Europe or in the world and have no way to put our interests forward in EU economic policy, we will be mere subjects to it. In wanting to liberate ourselves from Europe, we have simply destroyed any leverage we had.

Anyway, I promised I would have the week off from Brexit chat, the reality of it is very depressing. I hope this country, that I love, will be successful and unified, may that day come soon
