“Mrs Touchet had a theory. England was not a real place at all. England was an elaborate alibi. Nothing real happened in England. Only dinner parties and boarding schools and bankruptcies. Everything else, everything the English really did and really wanted, everything they desired and took and used and discarded – all of that they did elsewhere.” HistoryEnglandColonialismEnglishColonisationAlibiColonies Book:The Fraud Source: The Fraud
