ah yes the common wealth that pile of sh1te that welcomed irekand as a single state after the original troubles.
Worse thing about the commonwealth is that GB tries to manipulate it.  Countries involved have to constantly be on the watch against the UK because they can influence laws to gain more wealth, power, and authority over its masses. If the wrong people can gain power within a commonwealth government, they can change laws and processes, which often cause severe disruption to the way the GB wants to control the commonwealth process...... and expose it for what it really is. The last vestiges of the British Empire.

"Common" "Wealth"


what a misnomer .....
Report mitolo July 28, 2022 8:40 PM BST
the uk does not 'manipulate'. it sends millions in aid to all of them. the uk has no influence on its laws, if it did so many of them would not outlaw homosexuality or impose the death sentence. any of them are free to leave; instead there are states that want to join, as have gabon and togo recently.

the idea the uk wants to gain power and wealth from such states is risible. its quite the opposite.

and btw, the british empire is reviled in the british education system. ask any teacher or read any textbook, as i have. horrible histories is a textbook.

The Union Jack is not really a hate icon. It was appropriated by right wing scum and Nazi’s and that alienated many people towards it because it became “ their “ symbol.

Removing a flag from a lamp post can be a crime, depending on local laws, as it can be considered theft if the flag belongs to someone else or criminal damage to the lamp post or the flag itself. Under laws like the Highways Act 1980, attaching items to public highway infrastructure without consent is prohibited, and therefore, the flag itself or the act of attaching it without permission could be considered illegal.
