Does that article mention Soros? What do you think of Aaron Banks?

It mentions groups that he funds, groups that are run by zoomers.

(It is an excellent article though, a great autopsy of how well meaning causes get hijacked by crazies)

Aaron Banks is a twunt.

Soros is a deeply sinister character, funding all sorts of whack job activists around the globe. It is perfectly reasonable to object to him doing that and unreasonable to label any criticism as anti-Semitic.

I read a great article about the Women's March the other day, groups that he funds are deeply anti-Semitic

Did you know that Hungary actually has an official law called 'STOP Soros' although this aimed at illegal immigrants and migrants. I wonder why they called it that though? Quite interesting that you seem to be sticking up for him...

That would make sense if we weren't a left of centre country by nature. Back under your rock please.

I think you got some of the words wrong there....

It was the Tory MEPs who supported Orban in the EU parliament and now they're reciprocating...

it's comical the way Soros criticism is flipped into anti Semitism.

You could quite happily present that quote with regards to Jamie Dimon and nobody would think twice about it.

Not an anti-Semite however...

“They do not fight directly, but by stealth; they are not honourable, but unprincipled; they are not national, but international; they do not believe in work, but speculate with money; they have no homeland, but feel that the whole world is theirs. They are not generous, but vengeful, and always attack the heart – especially if it is red, white and green [the colours of the Hungarian flag].”

Maybe we should have done that as well so they would have kicked us out rather than us having to leave - hmm although looking at this graph I reckon they would have been slightly more reluctant to do that.

Why not just kick Hungary out if they do not share the same ideals?

Well it's ok - surely this is better for the EU the you only have 1 anti immigrant/anti semitic country too deal with.

Theresa May personally insisted that the words “ending of free movement of people” be added to the first page of the political declaration, the non-legally-binding part of the Brexit deal that sets out the framework for the future UK–EU relationship...

Such an unusual and personal intervention on a mostly decorative detail — in the middle of delicately balanced negotiations packed with technical and complicated issues — was viewed in Brussels as a clear sign of the top issue that drives and defines her Brexit.
...
Downing Street confirmed that the request came directly from May, and that she has said a number of times that ending free movement is a key priority to deliver on the result of the referendum.

You'll trigger the snowflakes, if you start suggesting Orban is anything other than a fine patriot, standing Roland-like at the pass.
