Very interesting. This is a wonderful ...Thanks Ian. Very interesting. This is a wonderful illustration of how unreliable our newspapers are and how we really should take 99% of printed, broadcast and internet news with a pinch of salt. If you don't know the subject you're writing about then don't write it may be a very good rule.<br />The Guardian states that these stamps are "not "official" and are "fakes". This ofcourse is incorrect since Stamperija, as much as we may detest it, does issue this stuff as a result of a contract with the country named on the stamps. In that sense these are indeed 'official' and are not 'fake'. It may or may not be the case that these items ever grace the counters of a post office in the Central African Republic but they are not fake and are official legally. You can't expect non-collectors to appreciate the status of modern new issues.<br /> This item explains to me why yesterday there were over 300 visits to Blog 820 which I had been puzzling over until you drew my attention to this article.<br /><br />White Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968199477827266643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005756131065514338.post-28130372935674633662018-01-06T07:13:47.120+00:002018-01-06T07:13:47.120+00:00Brexit stamps linked by the Guardian today
