BEST FOR BRITAIN TO PUBLISH MANIFESTO

BEST FOR BRITAIN TO PUBLISH MANIFESTO

Postby Cannydc » Tue May 29, 2018 9:39 pm

A campaign to secure a second Brexit referendum within a year and save the UK from “immense damage” is to be launched in days, the philanthropist and financier George Soros has announced.

In a speech on Tuesday ahead of the launch of the Best for Britain campaign – said to have already attracted millions of pounds in donations – Soros suggested to an audience in Paris that changing the minds of Britons would be in keeping with “revolutionary times”.

Best for Britain had already helped to convince parliamentarians to extract from Theresa May a meaningful vote on the final withdrawal deal, he said, and it was time to engage with voters, and Brussels, to pave the way for the UK to stay in the bloc. It is expected to publish its campaign manifesto on 8 June.

Soros said an “addiction to austerity” at the heart of Europe was harming economic development, which had in turn been exploited by populist politicians to stoke anti-EU support.


A properly funded, well organised fightback.

I wonder what's in it for George Soros?
He's not British
He has Hungarian and USA citizenships.

He believes that Brexit will be financially disastrous for the UK.

And he's right.

Yes, of course,
But why would a Hungarian-American want to stop Brexit?
Is it because it will also be financially disastrous for George Soros?

Of course it would.

Unlike top Tories who seem to invest anywhere but the UK, he actually has a stake in our future. His origins are irrelevant.

So, Donald Trump also has investments in the UK
Would you be happy if Trump funded a political campaign here?

I think I've said this before, doesn't hurt to repeat it though - Why does a Hungarian think he knows what's best for Britain?

That's a bit like saying "What did the Romans ever do for us"?

The answer ? Because he has forgotten more than you, I, and most of the British public will ever know about economics and how to make them work for us.

Donald Trump is also one of the wealthiest men on the planet
He also has investments in the UK
How would you feel if he publicly funded an anti-Corbyn campaign?

He funded the IRA during the 1990s. eyebrow
