How About a Genuine Commonwealth

Day 620, 04:04 • Published in United Kingdom

• by Jim Timber

For years now, Brits have sailed to lands and raped and pillaged whatever was rightfully not ours.
Sure, the empire shrank back to where it began. But, we all know that most of the world has a bit of an illegitimate Brit gene due to our travels and high sexual prowess. 'Me love you long time' still rings in the ears of our grandfathers. Anyhows, i digress...

My point is this. In the 'real' world, UK still has a commonwealth. I think commonwealth means making wealth more common, don't quote me on that. I think eUK is ready for something similar. I say we propose alliances, treaties, partnerships etc etc etc that are more long term. I mean, at least 6 months minumum.

We set basic rules, we don't attack each other, we buy from only commonwealth countries and sell to anyone that will buy. I reckon 15/20 countries would be a good start.

What do you think? Maybe we could rename it The UsualMoney, The AverageIncome?

Sadly, no politicians read this, as i'm, quote 'overly rude' 'under the influence' and/or a bit of a 'git'. Be kind and speak to them about this urgent matter forthwidth henceforth please.

That comment is a disgrace, we have not done that at all, you should read your history books instead of lazing about on a couch watching labour broadcasts.

Such an empire shrank back to where it began? What lefty stuff are you listening to? We have a small group of colonies in the real world.

Commonwealth just means that the countries share common values. It's not about money.

We dont really own many claims to the lands we used to help administrate. India, Hong Kong etc etc. All has been returned. We are stuck on our little island, atop a pile of bounty plunder from these lands.

Alex, take Hong Kong for example. We wanted to sell our Opium in China. China took issue with this and said 'don't sell opium in our country, it is a bad thing and not good for our people.' So what did we do? Sail boats into there main cities, point cannons at them, and they crap themselves and hand over HK and their people for opium consumption. Hardly a pleasant move!

As for the couch thing, i lived in China for 6 years, and also in HK and South Korea. I have viewed the opium war from both our and their angle, and we come out crapbag on each side.

these "colonies" you discuss. Surely their tiny economies of bananas and palm oil is hardly a shining gem for us?
