So some morons are actually paying £5 for this rather than just sharing it on FaceBook? Someone is raking in the cash at the expense of idiots? Does that mean the book actually exists in physical form rather than as a silly joke?

I doubt his raison d'être is to cripple the country, drown all the puppies, etc.
