Except for the sticky header, this is a surprisingly useable page.

It's funny, how in 2019, it feels strangely unfamiliar to be able to simply read a page without having to fight it and be annoyed by a million dark patterns.

It's not terrible, but it has several unnecessary stylistic decisions that make legibility harder, including

- sticky header as you mention

- an unnecessary 3 column layout

- switch between light / dark background

- FAQ accordion where you have to click to view each answer, which collapses the others. This means to read the entire thing, you have to click >20 times.

Content-wise, there's no TL;DR / summary at top which impacts understanding. I still can't find the part of the text that says IBM is preparing for a UK exit from the EU as the title suggests. It's a lot of 'well we believe these things and there's complexity in this'.
