Ah yes. When it's Wall Street doing it it's "greedy evil bankers" but when it's Soros, a vocal advocate of liberalism, suddenly it's just business as usual.

A central bank whose monetary policy relies on their not being greedy evil bankers is going to fail at implementing that policy.
I think it's kinda funny, 2019 Soros desperately wants Britain to remain in the EU (and funds various groups accordingly)

whereas 1990s Soros did his best to force Britain out of the ERM

if Britain stayed in the ERM until the point it became the Euro: there's no way brexit would have been even remotely possible

Is that all that strange?

Things change over 20 to 30 years?

Depends on what his motivations are, is it to make money? In out is only relevant to what your betting on.
I'm honestly aghast at the attitude of some of the posters in this thread, with their "The Bank of England had it coming" and "It's fair game." posts.
