Farage: Money Soros Gave to Anti-Brexit Campaign Is ‘The Tip of the Iceberg’


Brexit campaign leader Nigel Farage has welcomed mainstream exposure of the ‘Soros Web’ after a plot by the billionaire globalist to thwart Brexit was revealed by The Telegraph newspaper.

“Since those twin shocks of Brexit and Trump back in 2016, one of the main narratives from the establishment has been, ‘These things happened because of outside interference’,” he told listeners to his regular LBC show.

“Yes, we’re back to our old friends, ‘The Russians!’ We’ve had Ben Bradshaw, Labour MP, standing up in the House of Commons,  and saying that Russian money was put into the Brexit campaign.
“In America, we’ve reached levels of total hysteria — so much so that, apparently, I was acting as a Russian agent,” he laughed.

“But the debate about foreign overseas influence in Western democracies is a big one. Now, I have said from the start that I believe — and please tell me [if] I’m wrong — I believe that Russian interference actually is almost negligible. It’s being dragged up as an excuse.

“But I have felt for some time — in fact, I’ve felt for the last six, seven years — that there was one major global influence… I’m talking about one massive attempt by a very rich man to change the politics across the whole of the West of the world, and I spoke about this in the European Parliament as recently as last November.”

The Brexit campaign leader had told MEPs how Soros recently transferred $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations group; how the group boasted of holding 42 meetings with the European Commission in 2016; and how it had published a document listing some 226 MEPs it considers ‘reliable allies’ — including former President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, who is now in line to become Angela Merkel’s vice-chancellor, Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt, and a number of vice-presidents and committee heads.

“Let me tell you, when I wrote to the 226 MEPs [Soros] listed as friends, I got the odd sarcastic answer, but I didn’t get any factual evidence back” about them attending meetings with the financier or accepting donations from him, Farage told his LBC audience.

The UKIP grandee welcomed the unmasking of Soros as a major backer behind a plot by the Best for Britain group to topple the government and trigger another EU referendum, after details of a meeting he hosted between Labour’s Lord Malloch-Brown, two high-profile financiers, and six Tory donors were revealed.

“There’s a man called George Soros out there, whose organisation, Open Society, doesn’t have millions, or tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, but billions — over 20 billion so far — that it is using, spending, campaigning for organisations like the European Union; campaign for mass migration,” he summarised.
