Is This The End Of The British Empire.

[gulliver1]

Now the Queen has Passed on. Former British Colonies want their Jewels back. South Africa want their "Great star of Africa" to be returned which is now the centre piece of the Queens sceptre,and also demanding the
"return of all the gold diamonds stolen by Britain" ..... India once know as "The Jewel in the Crown of the British Empire" is now calling for its jewel in the crown, know as the (Koh-i-noor) to be handed back even though it is sitting on top of The Queen mothers crown . Will King Charles allow it ???

pimply' Nothing's wrong with the OP except for the fact that it was posted by gulliver and many right wingers here dislike him. Whatever he says he is usually insulted.

[pimplyteen]

Sounds about right Atheist.

//...except for the fact that it was posted by gulliver and many right wingers here dislike him.//

It isn't a matter of dislike. It's more a matter of trying to make head or tail of his questions. A couple of weeks ago he posted a question about the latest opinion poll and the numbers he quoted bore no relationship to those in the published poll. Now he posts a question about the British Empire and starts on about the Commonwealth.

His dislike of the former Prime Minister borders on the psychotic, but that's another issue.

In 2022 it makes as much sense talking about the British Empire as it does the Ottoman Empire or Greek Empire. All gone, all defunct.
As we pillaged what we wanted from Africa and India it would be a noble gesture to at least give them their jewels back

[pimplyteen]

Might be a good idea to view many of the threads on the dislike of Meghan and Harry, they also border on the psychotic. But that's OK?

I haven't noticed quite so many and with quite the frequency as Gulliver seems to post about BJ. Hopefully now we have a new PM he can turn his attention elsewhere.

[pimplyteen]

He dont post very much on Boris now,but whatever other subject he does then someone will be goading him into doing so,even in this post if you care to look.

There is no 'British Empire'; so how can it be 'the end'?

[Peter Pedant]

I was surprised how much bile / spleen this thread elicited

so many lemons sucked, they musta be discounted at the local supermarket ( looted from Dorothy Parker - straw hats this cheap...)

1952 - empire replaced by commonwealth of nations

altho I THINK that commonwealth is mentioned in the Statute of Westminster 1935

[gulliver1]

P/P lol,

[Paigntonian]

Further to other contributors, yes it really is a stupid question.

So what's the OP about then, Gully? The Empire (long since defunct) or the Commonwealth (something completely different)?

[Peter Pedant]
