As far as I know, but not that much of a hoax as such. I'm not sure who else benefits having the governments behind 2 seats on the UN Security Council paralysed by internal politics and weakened by introspective and insular nationalism.
Despite everything, I'm fairly sure the Chinese are more concerned with their own problems and would prefer a little more predictability, and the French seem to be looking on with horror.
I reminded a Brit, beside whom I sat on a flight a while ago, that Britain's prosperity of the 19th and early 20th century, (much celebrated with great nostalgia, it seems) was the result of extreme resource extraction from the colonies... and that we remaining colonials got the wild idea in, oh, 1918, that we'd rather not play along.
(Well, 1837 too, but that fizzled.)
(Oh, and it remains (pun intended) to be seen if the Scots and the Northern Irish are going to tag along for the ride. Wales... no idea.)
