<p>Statutory warning: Any truth you think you know is liable to be false and all things unbelievable are but Alternative Facts. Go, Trump that!</p>

Welcome to the world of Alternative Facts. It’s not a new world. It’s not a world we have never lived in before. Before the US reached it, some of us in other countries had our fill of it. But it is an apt new term for which many congratulations are in order for Kellyanne Conway, adviser to the new US President Donald Trump. I am guessing many right-wingers all over the world, including those in our fine land, must be kicking themselves for not coming up with “Alternative Facts” themselves. Yes, we have accepted “post-truth” but it has a very academic, distant feel to it. George Orwell would have been proud of Conway.
