Nigel Farage: Second referendum would be the George Soros vote<\/h3>\n

A controversial foreign billionaire who was accused of ploughing money into Remainer groups appears to be backing Humza Yousaf’s latest plot to get Scottish independence.<\/p>\n

American\u00a0<\/b>\/ Hungarian billionaire George Soros’ leftwing anti-Brexit Open Democracy organisation was one of the main backers of a “Break Up of Britain” conference in Edinburgh yesterday (Saturday November 18).<\/p>\n

Setting out its aims, the conference blurb stated: “The greatest danger to our democracy is the status quo. A once suffocating but stable British consensus has been replaced by an increasingly authoritarian state coordinating assaults on immigrants, the labour movement and the right to protest.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, Scotland is trapped in an involuntary union, Wales strains for more autonomy, and Northern Ireland is held hostage.”<\/p>\n

The conference involved a number of politicians from the SNP, Marxist former Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood, Green MP Caroline Lucas and Labour MP Clive Lewis.<\/p>\n

But, most worryingly for critics, was the involvement of George Soros’ Open Democracy whose Adam Ramsay chaired an event with the globalist organisation livestreaming the whole conference as one of its major sponsors.<\/p>\n

Mr Ramsay – who describes himself as a “posh, socialist, dyslexic journalist” Tweeted: “I’m really excited about our conference at Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms tomorrow – “the Break up of Britain?”. @CarolineLucas, @mlothianmclean, @LeanneWood, @labourlewis and many more speaking – it\u2019s nearly full.”<\/p>\n

Later he noted that the average age of the conference was “on the high side” but pointed out that it was being held in honour of Scottish nationalist academic Tom Nairn, who died this year at 90.<\/p>\n

Among the items being discussed were “Can Europe be Complete Without Scotland?”; “The Rise of Sinn F\u00e9in and the Prospects for a United Ireland”; “Where the [pro-Scottish independence] Yes Campaign Goes From Here”; and “The SNP After Sturgeon, and Labour Under Starmer”.<\/p>\n

But the involvement of Soros’ organisation has set off alarm bells amid concerns he could back SNP First Minister Humza Yousaf’s flagging attempts to get Scottish Independence.<\/p>\n

With remaining in the UK ahead in the polls, Mr Yousaf has relaunched his party’s plan for independence and on Friday unveiled a white paper on Scotland joining the EU and having a separate currency.<\/p>\n
