Soros warns that a Brexit could cause a 15% to 20% drop in the pound, which would be a bigger plunge than the so-called “Black Wednesday” plunge almost 24 years ago.
Writing in the Guardian, Soros said the drop could be more dramatic than the 15 percent plunge when Britain crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992.

Vote Leave says the vote is a chance to take control of the UK’s destiny.
“I’ve seen firsthand in these unsafe times how we can better cooperate with our friends and neighbors, how we can share information, track terrorists down, bring them to justice”, he said.
He said: “I know Europe isn’t ideal, believe me I understand and I see those frustrations”.
