I have genuinely spent 10 minutes starting at this but, no, it really DOES appear to be true that a bunch of cryptobros just spent €2.6 MILLION - 100x the asking price - for a book at auction in the mistaken belief that they would therefore own the copyright in it.

Right. Bit of reality. Yes, this exit poll might be a bit wrong, but it’d have to be wrong by a historically massive amount to not result in a Tory majority. So, advice would be to accept this now.
