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 the small matter of his Dad, a former editor of The Times, having written a book about how to profit from disaster capitalism.

This is what people not from the UK (and a fair few who are) always fail to recognise: the Upper Class are engaged in economic war against everyone else, their goal is to maintain a local hegemony and they have been doing this continuously since at least the 11th Century.
