Barbados gains independence.

[Energize]

A few days ago Barbados ditched the monarch who has been stumbling her way from disaster to disaster all the way since the Suez canal to Aberfan, never will they have to watch another one of her vacuous speeches on poverty televised by a woman sitting in front of a gold piano. While tolerating paedophile princes giving TV interviews. Thoroughly despicable woman who thought nothing of others, not even to members of her family who she denied marriage because of religious fanatacism!

You could also argue that being a British colony gave them structure and put them on the right path and they wouldn't be where they are now without it.

Big fan of the royals then I see!

 

[iamtheoneneo]

amazing opening post.
Anyway....This is all good I assume? I wonder what disadvantages a move like this brings to the area

Good luck Barbados. It worked out so well for Zimbabwe.

Are you being serious or... sarcastic?

I'll go with sarcastic and no one is as blinded as you came across there.

 

[robfosters]

I’m sure hes being sarcastic. No one could be that much of a bitter deluded dong

 

[Freakbro]

Like many other countries including India, Barbados is remaining a member of the commonwealth despite becoming a republic.

Ceremony was attended by Charles.

All very symbolic since they have been independent since 1966.

Many edgy people are trying to make drama out of it.

it might make a decent holiday destination now the tyrannical royals are not oppressing people over there

I thought it was Meghan's? Teehee.

 

[GGizmo]

Barbados, like other countries, are falling in to a similar trap with China.

One of the African countries defaulted on their loan the other week and now China owns the biggest port.

 

[dowie]

Seems they’re taking on some Chinese loans too, that doesn’t always work out too well.

Unless, youre gay. You may as well just go to Florida if youre travelling that distance, still sub tropical weather.

Not only that, she caused the slip at Aberfan as well, apparently.

Someone remind me to thread ban Energize when the Queen sadly passes.

Megan, is that you?

 

[Puzzled]

Well, at least the OP started the thread with a balanced argument

 

[VincentHanna]

Completely different scenarios.

Barbados: **** The royals we don't want anything to do with you white devil slave owners
Charles:Ok I respect your decision.
Barbados:but you're coming to the party though right bro?
Charles:rude not to bro, see ya there.
