I think you choose not to follow. Nobody suggested his hypocrisy was due to his being on the Brexit wing of the debate, rather that he was so vocal in wanting to put Britain first that he even suggested getting rid of "foreign" beers and wines in his pubs. Yet when it comes to the crunch he's the first to start laying off staff. On reflection perhaps there is an element of consistency as many of his staff were not British" were they? But I don't really think that's his first consideration, in fact. So, forget about Brexit, it's his shouting loudly for Britain, British values, British jobs, British beer, British Prosecco that doesn't lie will with his unwillingness to tighten his belt a little when push comes to shove. Of course nobody expects a business to keep on a full workforce when there's no business to be done. It's the way of it, not the fact of it.
