“Parallels with Brexit Britain”

Well, both countries were staffed with a handful of Russian Oligarch billionaires, and both countries employed seriously lame if not Bozo-clownish leadership. So yeah, the similarities are definitely there.

Right, with Oligarchs and ERG wealth supporting and still does support the Tories, who were so easy to buy off, especially the brain-dead variety. It's really a story of how rampant capitalism in the London financial industry married into the Russian autocratic country Oligarchies and probably a few other international billionaires on the public dime take. Making money honey, it's their bottom line, and the people(?), are the collateral damage in all this, in both countries.
