Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight.

Before the UK joined the Common Market it was the sick man of Europe, with its economy trailing and even deteriorating vs the rest of the EU. The UK was a member of EFTA, a trade network of largely smaller, mostly northern European nations, plus Portugal. It was a useful club, but no way did it meet the trade demands of a larger country like the UK. Other larger markets. like the US, China and India had no need for most UK products, as most of them could produce more competititively, and they were already exporting to the UK, even with EU import duties. The Common Market entry back then was a major factor in the subsequent recovery of the UK economy, together with some measures to reduce business restraint and encourage performance and competitiveness, including amongst SOEs. The leaving of the EU was just a political sop to curry favour for political gain based upon a simple populist and jingoist message that was never linked to economic reality; it was always going to be an economic disaster, and socially and geo-politically disruptive, (and even its better informed, though cynical, proponents knew that) but that was a cost to the country that they pursued as it would serve the vested interests of some business and their own political careers.
