George Soros is spending big to try to overturn Brexit:
Billionaire George Soros has handed £400,000 to a campaign fighting to stop Brexit, it was revealed today. The investment mogul is one of the biggest donors behind the Best For Britain group launched by Gina Miller.
The scale of the financial backing will raise alarm among Brexiteers, with fears running high that the process of leaving the EU could be watered down or even halted altogether.
Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage said people were starting to ‘wake up’ to the danger of the referendum vote being reversed. Mr Soros previously said it was possible that the UK would apply to rejoin the European Union soon after Brexit.
Hungary has it right. Any organization that Soros funds or controls should be outlawed. These evil people are straight out of 1984, attempting to subvert the clearly expressed will of the people in the name of “democracy” and “the open society”.
I note that the Fake Right opposes Brexit and nationalism too. It’s just a coincidence, right?
Meanwhile, nationalism is rising again in Ireland.
Luke O’Connor applauded and cheered with gusto and occasionally leapt to his feet during speeches at the Irexit conference for those opposed to Ireland’s membership of the European Union. The 21-year-old Kilkenny student warmed to the praise lavished by former Ukip leader Nigel Farage on US president Donald Trump and the Brexit-like political earthquake he unleashed in 2016. O’Connor wore a Trump-campaign “Make America Great Again” red baseball cap to the Saturday conference at the RDS in Dublin.
“I honestly get a great reaction. I would wear it on nights out,” he told The Irish Times. “I am hoping something comes of this, if not a party that we can get candidates to run in the European elections, that we even have a voice.”
The DCU student was typical of most attendees at the event, organised by Hermann Kelly, spokesman for the Ukip-led Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group in the EU Parliament. O’Connor is young, male and felt like his was a voice not heard in Irish politics or the media.
Their time will come. Their great-grandfathers fought to be free from Great Britain. They will fight and their children will be free of the European Union. I expect Irexit to take place within 10 years, assuming that the European Union hasn’t collapsed by then.
