Soros is famous for shorting the pound. Actively screwing a whole nation for profit is probably worth describing as “evil”. Gates’s anticompetitive behaviour is dickish but calling it evil is a step too far IMO

Blaming Soros for Black Wednesday is just silly, the blame rests entirely on the government.

And in any case, “screwing a whole nation”? Are you serious? Black Wednesday screwed the Tories, not the UK. Poor monetary policy cost the UK a few billion pounds, small money in the grand scheme of things.
