The second to last one is the kicker: The rich Leavers knew Brexit would be a disaster for the UK, they were playing you.
Their assets have become more valuable, as the price of long-term assets held with Britain experiences the first round (of many) of inflation; their holdings become more precious as the those with fewer assets loose what little they had, or can no longer participate because they lack the capitol. Poorer people are going to be priced out of their homes, out of London Exchange, and out of competitive business markets.
The Leavers never cared about UK citizens. If Brexit was a flop, then they get free ammunition to continue to blame all the government's failings on the EU, and drum up more and more nationalistic support. If Brexit was a success, then they can move all their money into off-shore accounts, weather the rapid pace of inflation, and take advantage of the chaos that small businesses will be unable to navigate - thus netting them a nice pile of stolen Pounds.
Guess logic has nothing on a catchy slogan like "Project Fear".

Britain went from owning most of the world to being tricked by a bus.

Aren't you required to vote against your own interests as a conservative though. I think it says that in the instruction book that you get.
