If you really just wanted sources I'm guessing thou would have phrased that differently? If you want to dispute the points then please post a counter argument instead. I am a UK citizen and I felt the points I made were very well known. The relative importance of each is a matter of opinion of course.

    The fact that dirty money exists is well known. The fact that property prices are high is well known. The claim that the two things are linked requires a bit more than a newspaper article, sorry. FWIW I would not be surprised if it were true. Similarly for the claim that "demagoguery" caused Brexit. That proposition is widely believed by people who are against Brexit; I don't know of any evidence for it though.
