Jamaica vows to drop Queen as head of state

[Churchill]

Is this another example of honkys using their superior "Divide & Conquer" skills?

Yeah (parts of) Jamaica are quite pretty but if they want to leave the Commonwealth then **** 'em.

**** 'em and **** their sugar we buy preferentially from them in vast quantities to bolster their economy, and which contributes to the obesity "epidemic" in the UK.

I think for that reason alone, a threat to switch sugar suppliers or introduce a much-needed sugar tax in the UK, we might find this proposal is quietly buried in due course.

Not all bad

The Government of Jamaica has a long history of democratic traditions and freedom of expression. Overall the Jamaican Government has respect for the human rights of its citizens. There are some areas of concern, including extra-judicial killings committed by members of the security forces, poor prison and jail conditions, inadequate levels of prosecution of police suspected of involvement in crimes, an overburdened judicial system and frequent lengthy delays in trials, trafficking in persons, and violence against suspected or known homosexuals.

They don't want to leave the Commonwealth.

My only fear would be we end up with a President of England (hopefully the Scots will be long gone by then) Mr Tony Blair type non-entity which is just plain wrong, so we would need to think seriously of what we put in place of a constitutional Monarch

HTH

I think the Scots should stay, just to annoy you if for nothing else.
