Conspiraci­es

-

On the day it was first mooted that Brexit may be delayed, the headline was stolen by badly made letter bombs by Irish republican­s “found” at mainline railway stations and, for some strange reason, Glasgow University.

On the day brexit was pushed back to 12 April the headlines were stolen by Parliament’s website being crashed by a two million signature petition to revoke it, later demonstrat­ed to be largely the work of a bot from Manchester operated

from a smartphone. On the day Brexit is pushed back to Halloween, Wikileaks supremo Julian Assange is arrested in a headline grabbing embassy raid prearrange­d with the Ecuadorian government.

First or second time could be coincident­al, but only a fool would refuse to accept this smacks of government­al spindoctor­ing.
