Mainstream media outlets in Great Britain and the US were running news Sunday of a stunning petition that shows 2 million people want a new Brexit vote.

Over “two million” signed the referendum in less than 24 hours!

The BBC, The Mirror, France 24, The Telegraph, Manchester Evening News, The Guardian… all reported on the bogus petition.

Anonymous is like a phantom. The Establishment/LSM can blame it for everything and nobody can go to Anonymous to confirm because it’s a nebulous non entity.
