Democracy is an illusion! It’s become a political system fostered by the élite, for the élite, in order to fool the people that they have a stake in the system. In actual fact, they have virtually none. The whole political system in the modern era, despite having noble beginnings, is now used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. – Mark Alexander, June 29, 2018

UK to Release Plan on Avoiding Economic Collapse without Brexit Deal | Al Jazeera English
The British Government is to release a report detailing how it will avoid economic collapse if it fails to get a deal on its withdrawal from the EU. The so-called 'no deal' scenario has prompted warnings that the UK could run out of food and medicine, and that major airports could close down. There have even been warnings of social unrest. Negotiations remain deadlocked just months before Britain is due to pull out of the bloc. Al Jazeera's Laurence Lee reports from London.
