Hillary Clinton Likely to Plough on After 2016 Election...

Years after UPC died the UPC hopefuls (people who crafted this illegal and unconstitutional thing behind closed doors) aren't giving up; some corrupt media still helps them (this is their business model, with this absurd article from midday today)
Summary: For Team UPC to pretend it's still 2016 and to tell us (even in 2020!) that the UPC is coming may be a lot like telling us that Clinton will reverse the 2016 election (in 2020!) and become a US president later this year. "The UK’s formal withdrawal from the UPC raises questions about the renegotiation of the UPCA and the relocation of the London court," it says, but relocation is not possible and "renegotiation" would require starting again from scratch (which is not possible given the lack of relevant ratifications, more so in light of growing concerns and constitutional complaints); this is a good example of lobbying or 'fake news' -- a term used extensively by the Democratic Party before Donald Trump 'hijacked' it.
