[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of ne Commonwealth nation that plans to stay. [/quote]

There are significant minorities wi th in commonwealth governments that want to stay. Also, many are grateful Britain was a far better colonial power than most and did a good job investing in infrastructure and democracy.

It is not that commonwealth citizens want nothing to do with them - many of us want to retain the cultural ties but in a grown up type way - we have grown up and left home but still want to come and visit for a cup of tea and scones.[/quote]

Quite a bit of delusional white washing…….

Not delusional according to Baroness Patricia Scotland, the secretary-general of the Commonwealth Nations. Her recent comments reflect what the PP said. [/quote]

I’m sure the Baroness wants to believe that other nations view their former oppressors as gentle, superiors who selflessly bestowed their wisdom on culture on their savage, barbaric regions. This head in the sand view seems common among royalists. The surprise the palace felt when Will and Kate got their butt’s kicked on their tour is a great example.

The reality is that the British were one if not thee worst influences on every country they touched. Murder, robbery, rape and complete disregard for the populations they destroyed again and again.

Actually, that is not what she said in the interview. Her comments went much further than yours and were more graphic.  She used your word “delusional,” when saying that the commonwealth nations were not delusional about the past and neither was the Queen.

It will be interesting to see if the UK makes reparations faster than the United States.  But our atrocities were more recent.
