One of the cultural challenges the UK has is that it had on 1st July 2017 a population of 66,181,585 whilst the USA had on July 1st 2017 a population of 324,459,463. This inevitably means that in a WTO based free market, the UK terrestrial TV would be dominated by the USA and our culture would be even more influenced that it is already.
One result of this state of affairs is that we regularly receive linguistic inventions from the other side of the pond. One of these that Donald Trump has brought to us is the phrase “Fake News”.
Many politicians end up being remembered by phrases they coined. British examples are Harold Macmillan and “You’ve never had it so good” and Harold Wilson and “This will not affect the pound in your pocket.”
In respect of current events, Madame Mayhem’s “Brexit means Brexit” will come to be her epitaph.
This is because it is now becoming clear that “Brexit means Brexit” is Fake News!
After reading the excellent Dr. North’s blog-post today (http://eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=87041), the question that must be asked is this:
Can a woman who got into Oxford University (St Hugh’s College) and graduated (1977) with a second class BA in Geography be so reckless or stupid?
This organ has consistently pointed out that the entire Brexit process is likely a “grand coup de théâtre”. The persistent closing off of the ONLY practical Brexit strategy (http://www.eureferendum.com/documents/flexcit.pdf) is indicative we now think of a conspiracy to commit treason as outlined in our article of 23rd October.

If this is NOT the case and Madame Mayhem is really intending to allow a no deal Brexit to happen, then for further comment see below:
