That may be true, but I don't think it's relevant. The politicians still made bad decisions that led the country to ruin; you can say they didn't mean it, but that doesn't make it not their fault, nor does it mean it wouldn't have happened if Soros hadn't shorted the pound. And to rephrase the second sentence: Soros knew that the bad policy decisions of the politicians would leave the people devastated, but didn't care. Again, I'm not convinced that's relevant; Soros didn't make the situation, he just profited by it. That doesn't make it his fault.
