			<h2>British EU Myths</h2>
			</h3><strong>A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bot">bot</a> that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debunker">debunks</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_news">fake news</a></strong></h3>
			<p class="text-pink-800 font-bold">The bot is currently on hiatus.</p>

				The European Commission <a href="https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/">has archived an astonishing 426 lies</a> that the British press told about the European Union between 1992 and 2017.
				It is widely accepted that <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/15/brexit-boris-johnson-euromyths-telegraph-brussels">this trend was started by Boris Johnson</a>, a man who has a track record that would make Pinocchio blush, while he was posted as the Daily Telegraph's Brussels correspondent between 1989 and 1994, and was happily followed by pretty much every other newspaper in the United Kingom ever since.
			</p>
			<p>Boris Johnson became the UK's Prime Minister on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of July 2019, on what <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-no-deal-adverts-boris-johnson-michael-gove-eu-a9085201.html">it is feared</a> to be a covert operation to leave the European Union without a deal.</p>
			<p>&nbsp;</p>
			<p>Anyway, this bot will tweet a timeline of EU myths that are to this day widely believed by the British public.
			   There will be hourly tweets 9:00-17:00 (London time<sup>*</sup>), every day excluding weekends, because our shiny friends deserve reasonable working hours and rest days too!
			</p>
			<p>&nbsp;</p>
			<p>The bot is operated by <a href="https://andreafranceschini.org">me</a>, and I may occasionally tweet through it, if necessary.</p>
			<p>I also tweet as <a href="https://twitter.com/morpheu5">@morpheu5</a>. Come say hi. 🙂</p>
			<p>&nbsp;</p>
			<hr />
			<p><sup>*</sup> That's assuming that the UK will not do away with Daylight Savings straight after leaving the EU.</p>
