Tell dat Georgie Soros he better watch out!

Look, I'm not against rich men, even atrociously mega-rich men like George Soros.  In fact, I would dearly love to be an atrociously rich man and my bank manager would love it even more!  Alas, I am only an atrociously poor man and the problem with that is that no-one ignores your atrociousness in the way they do when you are mega-rich.  People, like my good and dear friend George, are told constantly how kind and generous and, er, giving (nudge-nudge!) they are, where-as dead broke deadbeats like me are reviled when we are not ignored.  In fact, now I think about it the only people who are nice to me are politicians but that only happens every five years and the unspeakable rat-bags then proceed to break all their promises!

Even so, George, my very dear friend (God, I can creep with the best of them!), at least those despicable politicians do have to take some note of my opinions on a regular basis because their job depends on it which is more than you do!  So, before you, a Hungarian-born, a UK immigrant (how lucky for you we survived the war), and now technically an American citizen but really a 'citizen of the world, start poking your nose and your zillions of dollars into my country's political future, I would ask you, politely, to mind your own damn business and please shut the door when you leave!

You are, I am led to believe, an ardent fan of the late, and truly great, philosopher, Karl Popper whose most famous book was titled "The Open Society".  Thus, I am not too sure that good, ol' Karl would have approved of you quietly enticing a bunch of Brexit supporting donors to a private meeting in which they were 'urged' ('Ya know what I mean, Georgie-boy?') to withdraw their support for a decision taken by a majority of British people in a completely open and free referendum.  Of course, I do realise they do things somewhat differently 'over there' and certainly they do it very differently back in dear old, 'democratic' Hungary but this is Britain! 

So my advice to you, Georgie, me old mate, is an example of quintessential English - just fuck off and mind your own business!

"just fuck off and mind your own business!"

Trouble is, making huge piles of cash through undermining countries and currencies pretty much is his business.

Well David, so long as you're on your creep friends:

Any parting words for the bastard?

The entire British system is built on large donor funding. Unions for Labour and big business for the Tories.

This is the main reason why Brit politics dwells in the authoritarian zone of the Nolan chart: Both the Unions and big businesses want to use their buying power to coerce the government into maintaining their monopolies.

In a Democracy it's one person one vote no matter how politically connected you are. In a free society buying political influence should be limited per person to an amount that even the poorest could afford, or funded as social buying power per person. For example, £50 per annum per person to donate to parties, think tanks, etc., with an outright ban on any more.

But in the mean time, while the unions and big business dominate politics with their buying power to keep Blighty in the authoritarian zone of Nolan, I'll take from whichever rich bastards want to fund Blighty remaining in the EU and thereby to keep the authoritarians in check that can be found.

Although I disagree with the system you have to work within it to defeat it when there's no way to defeat it from without.

George Soros is a financier of the enemies of Western Civilization and an enemy of mine. I make no distinction between him and those who fund radical Islamists. I do hope Hungary can bring about the publication of his obituary any day now as well as his cabal of deep pocket henchmen.

A covert SAS mission would do the trick then blame the Yanks or Russians.
