I can't fault the guy for leaving.The irony, as you may appreciate, lies in the fact that Mr. Ratcliffe so strongly advocated for the UK to leave the EU, only to then pack up and leave for greener pastures in a place that is part of [gasp!] the Schengen Area and the EURO zone the brexiteers despise so much.
