For the non-Brits, who is this guy?
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.

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 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.
I’m pretty sure it’s just because they dislike immigrants
One does not exclude the other.
