Aus Für Bad Boys: Handball-EM Verpasst Neuen RekordArron Banks London: Biteback Publishing, 2017 When I was asked last year by the German-language weekly Junge Freiheit to contribute to their “portrait” series with a, I was in the embarrassing position of having to admit that I had never heard of him. My reaction was much the same as that of William Hague, the former leader of the Conservative Party, who, on hearing that said Arron Banks had agreed to contribute one hundred thousand pounds to the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), dismissed Banks as “somebody we haven’t heard of.” Banks describes his reaction to Hague’s dismissal of him in these words:... I was sitting in bed eating toast and honey and flicked on Sky News to see William Hague snootily dismissing me as a nobody. A few minutes later, Farage was on the phone. ‘The Foreign Secretary is all over the television saying he doesn’t know who you are, and nobody he knows has ever heard of you,’ he reported. ‘I know,’ I replied. ‘What a cheek! Let’s up the donation to £1 million!’ The Bad Boys of Brexit is an entertaining and uplifting account from his private diaries of Arron Banks’ involvement in the campaign to take Britain out of the European Union. It is Banks’ personal account through diary notes of what he calls “one of the most exhausting twelve month periods of my life.” The Bad Boys of Brexit is, according to Banks, a reconstruction through e-mails, diary entries, and his own unreliable memory, without, he says, the wisdom that comes of hindsight or corrections in the light of subsequent events, of those twelve months that led up to June 23, 2016. Who were the “bad boys”? They were the four most prominent leaders of the “Leave.EU” campaign. Leave.EU was one of the two major umbrella groups which campaigned for Britain to leave the European Union in the referendum debate (the other, and rival, organization, which became the officially designated one, had a confusingly similar name: Vote Leave). They were Arron Banks, Nigel Farage, Andrew Wigmore, and George Cottrell, a.k.a. “posh George,” who was detained by the FBI on charges of money laundering and wire fraud while accompanying the other three “bad boys” on a visit to the Donald Trump campaign. All four “bad boys” are extremely wealthy gentlemen, and in the case of Banks and Cottrell at least, millionaires. It is common knowledge that the result of the British referendum on June 23, 2016 confounded both the hopes and the expectations of EU politicians, world leaders, Trades Union and business leaders, media pundits, and most of the media itself. Even the Pope and the Presidents of the United States and China voiced their wish that Britain remain in the European Union. The Pope noted that he did not see Britain’s withdrawal from the EU as being something that could make for a stronger Europe. (Why the Holy Father should wish Europe to become “stronger” was never made clear.) From his self-portrait, Banks emerges as someone who was always political as an adult, but not strongly so. For many years, he was a paid-up member of the Conservative Party. At the age of twenty-one, he had been Vice Chairman of his local Conservative Party Association and had stood (and lost) for a seat on Basingstoke City Council. After this brief foray into party politics, Banks decided to concentrate his considerable energy on making money for himself, at which he was more fortunate than as a Tory candidate; indeed, he was staggeringly successful. Der Sport-Tag: 'Bad Boys' Versagen, Zweitliga-Schock, Druck Für FC BarcelonaHe became CEO of a highly successful insurance company and has profitable diamond holdings in South Africa. But while he pursued a business career, his interest in politics continued, and he writes: I never lost interest in politics, however, and watched with dismay as John Major blithely signed away our control of our borders via the 1992 Maastricht Treaty. Xxii) The expression “control of borders” was to play a pivotal role in Leave.EU’s referendum campaign. When David Cameron honored his election pledge and announced that there would be a referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union, it did not seem that this subject would play a significant role in the ensuing debate. Most commentators agree that the announcement was made by the Prime Minister with the confidence that his recommendation to remain would be followed by a majority of voters.
