If you can't beat 'em, join em.
The people want a hard Brexit, give it to 'em.

Brexit disaster capitalism is a golden opportunity for the Russian kleptocracy, who made out like bandits when the USSR was dissolved. Good as well for Putin's gunpowder empire great power dreams with an economy the size of Spain's.

The Brexiters who put their money offshore
Some of the loudest voices in the debate – many of whom want the UK to be a tax haven – have their own offshore interests

Many of the most powerful supporters of the Brexit campaign appear in the Paradise Papers because of their offshore interests. There is nothing illegal about their arrangements.

But many of these same voices have urged a “hard Brexit” – which could see the UK ripping up its economic model and in effect becoming a tax haven on the borders of Europe.

That might suit Brexiters, many of whom have either made their money, or keep their money, or live, offshore.
