That's just lovely and I thank you for this posting, because I can use it to demonstrate the holes in such an attempt. Mistakes like that happen if you blindly follow standard arguments known from similar discussions.
Let me tell you exactly where your mistake is: First of all you are obviously twisting my statement. This is especially unfortunate, because my original statement is directly above yours, so everyone can read and compare. I said he founded the remain-campain and he is funding Volt, NOT a British electoral campaign.
Second you combine two accusations, "conspiracy theory" and "anti-semitic", which obviously do not fit either. It's not a conspiracy theory that Soros is funding the remain-campaign (article in the Guardian) and it's not anti-semitic to claim that foreigners should not be allowed to influence any votings in the UK. No Foreigner should be allowed, regardless of his or her religion. Yes, that does include jewish foreigners as well, but it's not directed exclusively against jews, hence it's not anti-semitic.
Last but not least, it should be noted that even the israeli "NGO-monitor" seems to have problems with Soros, and I think it is safe to assume that israelis (self-hate excluded) are not anti-semitic by default.

Last but not least: Being jewish is not a "Get out of jail free"-card for Soros. Yes, that is a straw-man, because you didn't say that, but I think it is an important insight and therefore it should be mentioned.
