George Soros's Quantum Fund led a field of speculators who borrowed UK gilts only to sell them and buy them back later at cheaper prices. They repeated the trick every few minutes, making a profit each time. Soros said later he had made £1bn from selling sterling he didn't own.
Knowing Britain had a paucity of foreign currency reserves to sell, speculators such as Soros confidently moved in for the kill.
The radio news bulletins that afternoon quoted traders using words such as "slaughter" and "disaster" to describe the situation.

Is there any evidence that a second referendum would return a different result? I ask because polls seem to indicate that the result would be the same, helped by a belligerent EU it seems.
I kind of agree but I fear that the populace is so easily led that a clever campaign paid for by Soros would influence their decisions - a bit like the Democrats claim Russia did to America during their election!!!!!!
Sorry for hijacking a thread with three replies in a row, bad manners, people replied whilst I was typing my first reply.

Yes, propaganda. Just like all the predictions made before the vote.
It's BS to make YOU vote to remain. To make YOU want to remain in the EU.
Currently I have to pay a 73.7% levy if I buy steel from China. This means if a job is around 20t I can still make money buying Chinese steel. Any lighter and I can't. Once we leave the EU UK engineering will sky rocket due to the 73.7% levy disappearing. More jobs, more work. Before anyone says it, the propaganda about Chinese steel being poor quality is propaganda.
They had the official information on the news last night, on how much each region of the UK would lose or gain by Brexit. They were saying the North-East would lose 16% of revenue and other areas 11% of revenue, all due to loss of trade with Europe.

Doesn't that figure Soros would be involved.
Let's see, before England joined the EU London was a majority native city.
Since then London is now majority non-native.
I think most British will admit to having enough change to last for a few decades.
That is scaremongering on an extreme scale and BS! People need to understand that the majority of trade will be BAU because EU companies are not going to change their reliable and quality supply chains because of half wit inadequate politicians because it would be corporate suicide. And likewise for services. If the EU hurts the UK they hurt themselves more. Take BMW as an example, the uk could f.ck BMW. So much will be BUA regardless of what the REMAINER BS! Also our GBP could well grow due to growth in trade with the rest of the world. The future is much rosier than the BS'er are predicting! I for one am not falling for the con!
