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 ???

P/P @ 22.52. Think most of them on a/b suffer from monthly period problems, especially the members of the Boris Blue Fan club. They will get over it when they start to grow up. .....(if they ever do)

It's complicated. These jewels were often handed over by the native owners in gratitude for the slaughter of thousands of baddies.
Or in anticipation of said slaughter.
Have we any right to ignore their sacrifice?

Also, where does it all end? Your village may come calling, gully. ;-)

Unless you were about to be thrown on your husband's funeral pyre.
I'm sure others were equally grateful. (no pun intended)
