Easiest way to grasp it: Try to picture what would have happened to some clown like Soros attempting to do bear raids on the English currency system when Churchill was PM.....

Correct. The Bank of England was nearly brought down by Soros, though a rogue trader in Singapore conveniently took the blame and served prison time back in the mid-1990's.

Soros then proceeded to make billions by shorting the Thai Baht, Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupee. It was only massive intervention by Singapore, which nearly took down the Singaporean Dollar, which saved that region of the world from economic collapse. Business people in that region of the world have no illusions about who Soros really is. Nor is his white house puppet particularly popular.
