1. If it can be shown that he had *any* inside knowledge, heads need to roll and the punishment needs to be so harsh on all involved that it doesn’t happen again.

   Ach, who am I kidding. The Tories and their supporters are lapping it up.

2. If all the disaster capitalists could get any fleeting spark of shame and kill themselves that’s be great.

3. Let him say that to a room full of people struggling to buy food. I just want to see how these people fare when faced with ordinary people who are suffering because of twats like this.

4. I find it hard to picture someone with a name like Crispin Odey as anything but an absolute cunt

5. Of course, why does anyone think he bankrolls the tories along with putins oligarchs? They have an interest in destroying the country.

6. That’s great, now how do I get a piece of the action to try and keep my savings from either a) evaporating as I try and fail to pay to heat my home and feed my family or b) being basically Monopoly money in terms of actual usefulness?

7. So Odey –

   Donated large sums for Johnson’s leadership campaign

   Bankrolled Somerset Capital (Jacob Rees Moggs). Odey also made a lot of money shorting the pound during Brexit (who was his favourite brexiteer I wonder)

   Was very good friends with William Rees Mogg (who wrote books on disaster capitalism)

   Was married to Ruper Murdochs Daughter

   Is Kwesi Kartengs ex employer

   Yeah absolutely definitely nothing iffy going on there

8. This shit just needs to be treated as gambling and taxed as such.

9. I wish he would go away, this slimly fat cunt makes me irrationally angry every time I’m reminded of his existence

10. Good job the Brexiteers stuck it to _the elites_ eh?
