Quick appeal to rationalism...
Yes, it seems plausible that "disaster capitalists" are standing by to profit from Brexit chaos.
But it seems distinctly implausible that they're relishing a coronavirus-Brexit 1-2 punch. That's too much even for them. I expect they're bewildered.

And I mean that completely seriously. They are rational actors too, even if their *morals* may not be in the same universe as most people. Seeing a country eviscerated in short order by twin tragedies isn't a winning proposition for *anyone*.
After all, most Brexiters will still have to live in what's left of the UK after the dust settles. So the suggestion that they'd gladly see the country in ruins is an absurd one. We have to be better that that sort of knee-jerkism.
