Brexit Math

Also known as “Boris Math.” When hardcore math educators, most of whom are white supremacists or racists, object to using wallet-friendly, better-quality foreign math textbooks under the guise of protecting local authors and publishers, or are opposed to recruiting foreign math teachers and lecturers to teach in local schools and universities, because their presence unprovenly threatens the livelihoods of locals, who would find it hard to compete with cheaper foreign talents.
PM Johnson and his diehard supporters would fight hard to maintain Brexit math for nationalistic reasons, because any compromise to let in alien mathematical talent would be perceived as going against their Brexiteer principles—math and math education must be local, and not adulterated by foreign elements.
