THE SPLIT IN THE COMMONWEALTH

(Commonwealth Day 14 March 2022)

The Queen’s brief message on Commonwealth Day was well like you know we are all in this together and stuff about values.  But here’s what really is happening.  After the developed countries, the former white Commonwealth   couldn’t get rid of Patricia Scotland, the first female Secretary General of the Commonwealth and add to it Black female to run the Commonwealth, they withdrew their financial support.  So the one agency that used to provide useful support for Commonwealth countries was the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation.  The fund has effectively been defunded because of their dislike for Baroness Scotland.  She is likely to win a second term because the phony candidate the developed countries put up turned out to be a dead loss but it is clear that the developed countries intend not to cooperate until they get “their” Commonwealth back.
