Talking of Brexit, have you perhaps watched the documentary The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire on Netflix?

It seems, to me at least, to put the Brexit hurry in a whole new perspective.

> In 2014, the ECB became responsible for supervising banks in the euro area> https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2014/html/pr141104.en.html

> In 2015 Cameron prepared the 23 June 2016 referendum.

The rest is history. The timing fits perfectly and so do the real stakes: billions of them. My impression is therefore that Brexit was never ever about Britain. It was all about the City wanting to keep her secrete banking rights. Which the ECB, in time, surely would have dismantled, hence the hurried exit.

I feel sorry for the Brits. You've been had big time. Again.
