UK paper's April Fool prank about Irish Sea links
A road bridge linking the Isle of Man to a Celtic Union of Scotland and Wales? Check your calendar, says a UK national newspaper.
The Independent this morning reported Scotland and Wales would split away from the UK in the event of a Brexit – and the Isle of Man would become a transport hub linking the two!
But the story featuring supposedly leaked documents by a Cabinet Office whistle-blower, was in fact an April Fool – and we won’t be getting a bridge or tunnel to the Celtic Union after all.
The newspaper has amended its story to remind people it’s only a prank!
