What do you mean by great job?
The Commonwealth seems to be running rather smoothly don't you think? Unlike the EU which many people are keen to leave ;-)
Also I can't remember any complaints about The Queen and instead she is held in very high regard by many around the world.
Yep, there are millions desperate to leave EU and find a better life for themselves in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Zimbabwe.
I was talking about the EU as a collective of countries in the same way the the Commonwealth is a collective of countries ;-)
ie people wanting their country to leave a collective agreement.
gosh are you saying that Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are shark hole countries?
Unfortunately, they are. And for reasons not entirely unrelated to the Commonwealth (and its actual predecessor).
Zimbabwes problems are of their own making. Mugabe was/is a racist tyrant. They have no-one to blame but themselves for creating the shark hole they now live in.
South Africa seem pretty keen to go down the same route.
Leave em to it.
I would say that reducing the problems of these two countries to what's happened over the last 20-30 years and ignoring the particularly difficult histories that preceded that is rather uncharitable.
Sometimes reality isn't a forgiving proposition let alone charitable one.
Africa for Africans: I am all for it but I fear its not going to end well from what I have seen so far.
Anyhow African nations seem pretty keen to get re-colonized by China these days and I think we all know who is going to benefit the most from that set up and who is going to come out worse off.
Like I said, leave em to it. Just don't come crying for help when it all turns to custard
I did the 40 hour famine when I was a teen, what a waste of money that was. Throwing cash at Africa will never solve anything. Africa needs to stand on its on two feet and take responsibility for itself imo. They have all the resources to do so, so whats stopping them?
