Mostyn6 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Just spotted a colleague looking at an article which has a section of a Soviet Map of England, but with place names spelt phonetically in Polish.

Gaspode Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Reports that the original 'Soviet' map is actually a fake - it was actually drawn up just prior to the General Election by John McDonnell (on the off-chance that Labour won) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
