A BLITZ ON MARK MALLOCH-BROWN

His full name is George Mark Malloch-Brown. He is also known as Baron Malloch-Brown.

Malloch-Brown has been in the news recently as he attended an event at the Chester home of George Soros, acting as the Chair of Best For Britain. The event was designed to discuss how to overturn Brexit.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…

The event was also attended by Stephen Peel and Sir Martin Sorrell, alongside six Conservative donors.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…

The goal of the meeting was to formulate a plan to pile on pressure on Members of Parliament during the final vote for the European Union deal, while also campaigning in areas that need to become 'Remain' areas.

Essentially, shilling for the European Union.

This January meeting did not work out though, because the plan practically hinged on removing a Conservative Prime Minister - and when you are pitching this type of idea to Conservative donors, well, it just won't work out.

None of the donors gave them money.

Malloch-Brown's career has been extensive, working in the British Government, working in the United Nations, working at the World Bank, and working as a journalist for The Economist.

He has a Twitter account.

twitter.com/malloch_brown

Unsurprisingly, he follows people such as George Soros, Samantha Power, Strobe Talbott, and organisations such as Global Witness.

Funnily enough, Strobe Talbott was also one of his first followers.

Back in December 2017, Malloch-Brown had already announced his intention to unify the Remainers to try and reverse Brexit by changing public opinion before the Autumn vote.

This presumably led to the meeting at the Chester home, and George Soros' donation of £400,000.00 - £700,000.00 to Best For Britain.
