Why Does George Soros Want Britain to Rejoin the EU?

This week Sir Keir Starmer welcomed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Chequers, whereΒ  the two men reflected β€œon the progress made between the UK and Germany in recent months”.

Forget the second referendum, Starmer appears to be taking matters into his own hands – and deciding that Brits want to rejoin the trade bloc.

One organisation that will be very happy about this is Open Society Foundations (OSF), run by US billionaire George Soros (albeit his son Alexander is said to be the main driving force).

Soros appears particularly keen that the UK should rejoin the EU, judging by the numerous Remainer projects funded by the OFS.

Perhaps the most famous is Best for Britain, which has been busy monitoring Starmer’s movements:

A press release published in 2018 (and updated in August 2019) shows the OSF awarding Best for Britain Β£2,799,689 between 2017 and 2019.

Furthermore, from 2020 to 2023, OSF awarded Best for Britain $1,573,320 (roughly Β£1,267,326 – according to Grok) – leaving the total at Β£4,067,015 between 2017 and 2023:

Best for Britain, whose director is Lord Darroch, has some big supporters, such as Carol Vorderman…

… and Anna Soubry, who is known to tag…

…and retweet Best for Britain on X:

Best for Britain is one of a number of groups β€œworking to support and debate engagement on the case for the UK staying in the European Union” (as the OSF put it in 2018) long after the Brexit vote.

Another is the European Movement (EuroMove), which received Β£200,000 from OSF between 2017 and 2018 and even has access to Parliament via sponsorship of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Europe:

Its Co-Presidents are Dominic Grieve and Caroline Lucas:

And its chair is Mike Galsworthy (above centre), who is a familiar face on the Remainer circuit (photographed with Steve Bray below):

Galsworthy is also founder of Bylines Network and Scientists for EU – the latter of which received Β£35,000 from Soros in 2017. Its X account mainly recirculates posts by EuroMove, Galsworthy and Dominic Grieve.

Recently Galsworthy posted about the EU youth mobility scheme…

…helpfully flagging a β€œhandy interface” for lobbying purposes…

…as well as trying to convince others to leave X:

That’s when he’s not supporting the Bylines Network, which in September hosted militant Remainer Femi Oluwole at one of its meetings:

Β What a small world!

In recent months there has been lots of discussion about foreign interference, after there were rumours Elon Musk might fund Reform.

Best for Britain was very vocal on the subject, and even suggested the Electoral Commission should get involved.

How can it complain, given the millions Best for Britain has had from its own foreign benefactor, Soros? It’s outrageous hypocrisy.

But even more importantly, why is Soros – architect of ‘Black Wednesday‘ in which the British pound rapidly devalued – so desperate for the UK to rejoin the EU?

Why Does George Soros Want Britain to Rejoin the EU…?

…’Cos he’ll make a shed load of money, lovely money out of it.

Why else? Nice money if you can get it.

I know very little about George Soros but my default assumption is that he does not have the best interests of me and my family at heart.

If it is a matter of beliefs I suspect he despises the Anglo Saxon exceptionalism. Perhaps he genuinely thought about it and came to the bizarre conclusion that nation states should be abolished, whether in favour of empires or world government run by his new friends I am not sure.

At another level it may be simly a bilionaire’s play thing but one which generates veneration for him from the elites which he would not otherwise enjoy. Preening the ego of rich men can be very effective.

Perhaps (but I put this as a low likelihood) he is buying protection from something.

I suspect he’s a soviet sleeper installed in the west in the 60s and for some unexplained reason possibly related to epstein like questions, never removed/REMOVED.

He’s done nothing but f### the Anglos ever since.

When I look at the main supporters for rejoining I see a lot of people who seem emotionally incomplete, perhaps needing the comfort of a bigger community around them.

It might help explain why Leavers are incomprehensible to them, and therefore so despised.

Some are fearful of those nasty right wingers, they may get into power, and wield it in nasty ways, via that nasty thing called democracy.

Check out the details emerging from USAID….it seems USAID was funding much of what Soros was involved with…in that he sets up the NGO, such as Best for Britain …into which USAID then drops loads of dosh….This blue print ie useing taxpayers money sourced via Aid programmes, may well be funding the Globalist takeover…..

According to Musk Soros himself has dementia…his son now runs the show….lets see how he gets on now USAID is closed down.

How is it not election interference, or interfering with democracy (their word)? Just because they do it!

You have to be willfully blind, blinkered or gullible to actually believe the UK is a democracy in anything other than name only (DINO).

As things stand we are stuck with 2TS whether we like it or not, for at least 4.5 years.

Until then we need to plan, scheme and prepare.

The private funding of my political party is driven by like minded compassion.
The private funding of your political party is interference with democracy.
The private funding of their political party is greed and corruption.

There’s a difference between wanting to help and wanting to own, though. One implies dominance and that’s the issue.

I suggest it’s because he’s concerned that the EU will collapse if we don’t.

Which, as far as I’m concerned, is precisely why we shouldn’t.

Before I became active albeit in a low-key way in politics I always considered our local council (Oldham 🀭) to be a mucky, tainted, small scale cesspit, boy did I have my eyes opened. Corruption is off the scale and we are talking millions of pounds. The realisation that nothing, absolutely nothing in politics is as it seems was depressing and even upsetting. The net result was that I rightly or wrongly magnified political corruption in order to take account of national scale and boom. The realisation therefore that the EU, a bigger entity than our Parliament was off the scale corrupt followed inevitably. This is not to say that I have had a political awakening in just the last ten years because I haven’t, I have always been anti EU and a natural sceptic.

We do not need the EU. We need decency and honesty at home first and foremost. We associate with and import too much rubbish as it is.

Because, like all globalist actors, political and industrial, he wants the centres of power and the levers of government moved as far away from the demos as possible in as many areas as possible. That way they can divide up the spoils amongst themselves in places like Davos without having to worry about interference from the worker ants.

“Soros is a horrible little man behind many conflicts in the world.
In a 1998 interview with Steve Kroft of CBS, the billionaire, nazi sympathiser, funder of many pseudo colour revolutions, convicted criminal George Soros admitted that he participated in the confiscation of Jewish property under the Nazi occupation. He also explained that he had no remorse for what he had done.”
I wrote this in 2013 with links to the interview which have all now been taken down by the censors.

How convenient it is whenever you lose at something, you can just proclaim a ‘Reset’.
We all know Brexit never really happened because of the Treasonous people in charge and the scumbags in Whitehall, isn’t that what David Davis resigned over if I remember correctly? As for Femi, to think I shook his hand over a brief discussion on Brexit. All he talked about was trade, which is important but not the main reason for me to vote out. I respected his free speech but didn’t realise what a rabid little Leftist he was at the time. Maybe a bunch of five would be better.

The EU is not a ‘trade bloc’. Perhaps the author should read the excellent book by the late great Christopher Booker and Dr Richard North, The Great Deception. This history of the EU tells you how a quisling Brit told Monnet after his suprenational idea was rejected to start with trade and then grow into a superstate from there. And that is exactly how it evolved. When the traitor Heath signed up to the EEC he never told us the truth and in the referendum soon after they certainly lied to the people again. But the aim was always the European Union and not a ‘trade bloc’. The biggest hole in the arguments over Brexit is the fact that the UK could have remained in the Common Regulatory Area – Single Market – but left the political union that issues the Directives. Over 75% of the rules in the CRA are actually global and by leaving the UK could have been a participant in formulation the rules as opposed to being represented by the EU. The UK could have worked to reform the EEA and even removed its control from the EU and expanded it to other non-EU countries but… Read more Β»

Why? Because George Soros might just be the EU’s (illegal secret intelligence) service or his foundations. Its/their activities involve subversion that either benefit the EU directly or further its hideous, leftist anti-democratic aims.

Don’t you just love TTK’s ingenious strategy to ingratiate himself to the electorate. Within weeks he’s p***ed off 10 mill pensioners, farmers and now 17 mill Brexiteers. How to lose friends and influence people.

All of these NGOs that are given tax free status and that are involved in politics and actively influencing and lobbying government are special interest groups that need to have their tax free status removed. Because they are funded by tax free donations, it actually is our tax dollars, that the government never receives, that is funding them. Governments are also using these NGOs by directly funding them, to carry out policies that are outside of Parliament’s scrutiny and balance. This is the so called deep state, is destabilizing western countries and needs to be stopped.

USAID gave the WEF last year 68 million dollars, if you are wondering where they get all their money to fund all the executive level people employed by them. Elites have found a way to live from tax dollars supplied by people who actually work and pay taxes. Grifters is the term, I think.
