Re: Scotland/Wales want increased powers locally
Of course. Financiers can profit hugely from a country's troubles: most famously George Soros betting against Britain in 1992.
At least Soros wasn't doing so from inside parliament and pulling the Prime Minister's strings. Contrast Rees-Mogg's hedge fund betting against Britain (though Private Eye reported they closed some such bets as far back as January, from which I guessed he'll be looking for a way to accept some kind of damage-limitation deal).
