Jacob Rees Mogg (one of the most vocal/prominent Brexiteers)'s father literally wrote a book on how to profit from economic crisis.

Jacob Rees Mogg is not an honest actor in this debate. He presents himself as someone honestly wanting the vote respected.

​

But he hides his clear financial motivations.:

​

- His father wrote a book called "Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad", source about how the rich can profit from a country going to the dogs.

- He is estimated to have made £7 million from the damage to the country due to Brexit source.

- He refuses to answer questions about the money he will make due to the damage to British economy due to Brexit. source

He seeks to profit financially from the damage to the UK economy due to Brexit.

Britain's loss is his financial gain, and he does not have the interest of the country at heart.

Mogg's dad literally wrote a book on how to make money during recessions.

If you bet against the pound (like many top-tier brexiters did back in 2016) you can make massive gains. Also, if you have liquidity or access to backers with deep pockets, a country in crisis is nothing but a land of opportunity.

Check out this book written by the father of Jacob Rees-Mogg, one of the most recalcitrant leavers:

And (only tangentially related) what his sister has to say about profiting from the water crisis.

The 1% have been given plenty of time to hedge their bets. If they have to short the UK economy to make money, you can bet they will.

As for the leavers who will suffer for it but still defend the referendum to this day? Well, there is no shortage of Полезные идиоты.

u/Akachi_123 · 18 pointsr/europe

The book is called "Blood in the Streets". Mogg knows there will be strife, and as his father (well, the nanny who read his fathers book to him) taught him: strife means money for those who know how to earn it. And there are people who worship this guy sigh.

u/TWeaKoR · 14 pointsr/unitedkingdom

Why would they? They want Blood in the Streets.

u/Th0mas8 · 12 pointsr/worldnews

Lets not forget about book that father of Jacob Rees Mogg (Wiliam Rees Mogg) wrote 30 years ago (1987) - its name ?

"Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad"

*Jacob was always supporter of hard-Brexit - now you know why...

u/o_oli · 10 pointsr/unitedkingdom

This probably has nothing to do with it...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Streets-Investment-Profits-World/dp/067162735X

Ignore the authors surname, also totally not relevant.

But seriously, some politicians serve only themselves and their friends, its hardly a secret that its always been the case.

u/KlutchAtStraws · 7 pointsr/worldnews

Johnson is the worst kind of self-centred political opportunist who is doing to nothing to try and save this shitshow. He is full steam ahead on no-deal, backed by his adviser Dominic Cummings (who appears to be wielding far too much power for an unelected adviser), his 'Leader of the House', Jacob Rees-Mogg and a cabinet packed with nodding Brexiters. The last sensible moderate Tories have all gone. One-nation conservatism is dead.

During the referendum campaign, there were many Leavers who talked about this or that style of trade deal or arrangement but we are heading for no-deal, the worst possible outcome.

The only reason I can see for this is Boris and his chums stand to do very well out of the whole thing. Jacob's Dad wrote this lovely tome a few years back which is the blueprint for making a killing while the world burns.

Christ.

Next he's going to say "And that Sovereign Individual over there, yes, Jeremy Corbyn - that disaster capitalist! Total hypocrite! Under Corbyn, blood will be running in the streets!"

u/Mr_Jekyll_Dr_Hyde · 4 pointsr/ukpolitics

I know you're being sarcastic, but for those who don't realise it here's a book on how to make money when economies go to shit, written by mogg's dad.

u/davesidious · 4 pointsr/brexit

Oh but they do. They buy the stuff that's going cheap, from desperate people willing to sell. They then hold on to it, and sell it back when it's worth more, use it as a write-off, or a thousand other things rich people not in the messed-up economy can afford to do. You can read about it in Jacob Rees Mogg's father's book entitled "Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad". Yes, JRM's father literally wrote the book on how to make money from events such as Brexit.

And you didn't comment on the rest of EthiczGradient's post, so can we assume you agree with it?

u/souleh · 3 pointsr/unitedkingdom

Read his fathers books to understand a bit of what makes Rees-Mogg the younger who he is.

u/0MadWatch0 · 3 pointsr/unitedkingdom

Here's a book by Reee-Smog's dad to explain it for you.

u/the-rood-inverse · 3 pointsr/brexit

We don’t either...

But that’s because there isn’t any logic. It’s a bunch of extremists on one side followed by a bunch of ver gullible people. In the case of the latter rather than admit they were wrong they double down and move the goal posts, currently the excuse is ‘it would be good to go without for a bit’ (makes people grateful). In the case of the former they are disaster capitalism who want carnage (look at this book called ‘blood on the streets’ by Rees Moggs dad) they know they can protect their money (by moving there main source of income to Ireland In the case of Rees Mogg or by becoming a french resident like Lawson) but want our assets.

u/shaidy64 · 3 pointsr/unitedkingdom

Interesting that Jacob Rees-Mogg's father literally wrote the book on disaster capitalism.

u/NGD80 · 3 pointsr/ukpolitics
u/helpnxt · 2 pointsr/HighQualityGifs

So Jacob Rees Mogg's farther wrote "Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad"

And here is Farage beaming at the pound drop, sorry he wasn't doing thumbs up my mistake

Added point is here is a video from bloomberg explaining how dodgy Farage and Brexit election is

The problem is it is very hard to cut through the 20+ years of anti EU propaganda the shit rags like the Mail and Sun have been pushing hard with, here's that list

u/Sephirdorf · 2 pointsr/unitedkingdom

This is it. Written by Jacob's dad, it goes on about how to profit from a destroyed economy.

Not for the disaster capitalists pushing for it. The father of Arch-Brexiteer, Jacob Rees-Mogg wrote a much-studied book on how to capitalise on the misfortune of others. Much of their families’ wealth was made by profiteering/preying on the vulnerable.

u/esprit-de-lescalier · 1 pointr/unitedkingdom

There is a whole book on it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Streets-Investment-Profits-World/dp/067162735X

Oh look, it's written by Jacob Rees Moggs dad...

u/Treczoks · 1 pointr/worldnews

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Streets-Investment-Profits-World/dp/067162735X

Written by Jacob Rees Mogg's dad. Basically the "Brexit Manual".

u/Simon_Drake · 1 pointr/brexit

Jacob Rees Mogg's father wrote a book on how to do exactly this - invest then cripple the economy and reap the profits for yourself.
