Got a link to the FT article? I'd enjoy reading those comments.

Mostly yes, but depends on the topic.
Anything where Brexit can be involved (anything about an EU or EU country problem, or UK issue), there's a bunch of stupid comments, mostly empty pro-Brexit ones.
Anything tech is usually mostly technically oblivious financial people (oh VMware have a great position, numbers looking good, tech is amazing).
Anything where Russia is involved, there's at least a few (idiots|Russian trolls|etc.) getting eviscerated.
