I fail to understand why G. Sorus should be highlighted for supporting a remain cause while the DUP leave benefactor remains anonymous

There's nothing secretive about the Bilderberg Group, its presence and its objectives are widely understood, even wiki. has a page on it for goodness sake, perhaps if you were to read it you'd stop having these hallucinations about people trying to take over the world:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group

"The group's original goal of promoting Atlanticism, of strengthening U.S.–European relations and preventing another world war has grown; the Bilderberg Group's theme is to "bolster a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe"

 

 

You missed out this part in your quote from the article

 

"In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and a steering committee member for 30 years, said, "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."

A noble statement that I'm sure today, all Bildergroup members and all rational sensible people in the world would support and reinforce. Note: only you alone might see that as the evil elite taking over the world, everyone else will see it for the practical measure that it is. BTW a single community as described in that statement does not imply a single government!

Revote, and revote, and revote until the results are in favour of those crooks stealing anything and raping Europe on a 24/7 basis. 

It is 75 years ago only when the UK with their allies rescued Europe; the old fart Soros should remember his roots and heritage and subsequently never forget that as, without such interferences, he or his in-laws might have perished. 

As a non-UK citizen he should be banned from entering the UK for interference in domestic affairs.

And this is what the Remoaners consider to be democracy.

Revealed: how US billionaire helped to back Brexit

The US billionaire who helped bankroll Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency played a key role in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, the Observer has learned.

It has emerged that Robert Mercer, a hedge-fund billionaire, who helped to finance the Trump campaign and who was revealed this weekend as one of the owners of the rightwing Breitbart News Network, is a long-time friend of Nigel Farage. He directed his data analytics firm to provide expert advice to the Leave campaign on how to target swing voters via Facebook – a donation of services that was not declared to the electoral commission.

We know that Soras gave and is still giving Very large amounts of money to the remain cause, yet this article fails to provide any numbers, for donations by this American to the Brexit side.

Payment in kind. And the contention is that Mercer and company never disclosed it.

The DUP is a British political party, and as such will obtain most of their money from their supporters. Any large amounts I believe have to be notified to the authorities. 

regarding  the previouse post on Mercer, the word “ contention” springs out.

I beleive  again that any donations over £ 7,000 must be reported, and as this has not happened, you cannot say he has made any large monetary contributions to the Brexit cause, unlike of course Soras’s large amounts to the Remainers and his spokesperson, Gina Miller.

The individual or persons who provided the 400,000 to the DUP during the referendum was not revealed to the electoral commision or the public

It is not a requirement to reveal the source of any money, unless the total from any one source is larger than £7,000. That is how we have come to know that Soras, along with other wealthy foreign individuals have made such large contribution to the remain camp, including financing the naturalised Gina Miller, in her efforts to block the democratic will of the British people.

Exactly the amount was 400,000.

Oh my god, are you awake.

if the amount from one source was more that £7,000 then it must be reported and recorded. As regards the DUP’s 400,000. I can only assume this came from much smaller contributions, unless of course you can show otherwise.

No, you obviously don't realise the rules for NI are different

The parties in NI do not have to declare.

However if you wish to discuss shady characters involved in Brexit, how about the leave donor who in 2012 resigned after offering access to D  Cameron off the record for 200,000

[Sir Dude]

Soros is a threat to many countries with his pseudo personal agenda.....hopefully though, he'll be pushing up the daisies soon and not interfering in countries internal affairs due to his age. Can't come soon enough.

Donations
Regulated donees must report to the Commission all donations – whether in the form of money or goods or services provided without charge or on non-commercial terms – if they exceed the reporting thresholds. Donations over £7,500 to a members association or £1,500 to an individual regulated donee must be declared. Multiple donations from a single source that aggregate to more than the threshold must be reported. Reports must be made within 30 days of accepting the donation.

This is the law for Northern Ireland, as stated by the Electoral Commision.. So I don’t know where your getting your information from

The DUP declared that the donation came from the CRC, but neither the CRC or DUP would clarify further on the particular donors. 

The Electoral Commision issued CRC a fine of GBP 6000. The CRC is what is categorized as an unincorporated association, they do not appear on any registers. All laws in relation to such associations have a maximum fine of GBP 5000, except one, failure to disclose donors

It’s his money.

 

If he wants to donate to groups exercising their democratic rights, then fair enough.

I’m fully aware of the secretive campaign of false news alleged in the USA presidential election. 

 

It has absolutely no connection to this story. 

 

As attempts at deflection go, that is feeble.

You seriously think Juncker won't jump at the chance of a European superstate, with him calling the shots?

Do not worry. Junkers term ends October 2019. The European Commission is the politically independent executive of the EU. It is solely responsible for drawing up proposals for new European legislation and implementing the decisions of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. 

One of the first tasks of the newly elected parliament is to elect the new president of the European Commission (the executive branch of the EU). When proposing a candidate, Member States must take into account the results of the European elections. The European Parliament will then vote on the proposed candidate, which will require a qualified majority, with at least half of all MEPs (at least 376 of the 751 members) voting in favor of being elected. When Parliament has given its assent to the President and Members of the Commission, they will be appointed by the Council, acting by a qualified majority.

 

It is always amazing how often it is tried to suggest that the members of the EU are not elected.

Nope. It's a completely valid point. And one which you are not squirming out of.
