This is exactly what's happening in America. I am finishing up a piece now on how The Big Lie started with the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg in 2014.
England won't admit it, the British are the Kings of Denial--but like Americans, Brits got bamboozled by Putin's disinformation machine.
Now that reality has caught up with them, everybody's pissed. It was only a matter of time.
Incompetent people may get power, but they don't know how to govern and the people are finally seeing the truth.
