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 ???

The British Empire ended many decades ago.
Her Majesty’s crown will not be dismantled.

I hope the jewels, as well as the Elgin marbles, will remain in Britain forever.

Vulcan and Gromit @ 13.35 just for you ......"Commonwealth"

[anneasquith]

Surely if you own something, it should be returned to you, whatever it is . ?

[gulliver1]

Gully isn't time you started another "I love Boris" thread?

[gness]

Well by rights you should, Anne. But whoever took my family land in years gone by can keep it. One field's enough to manage.
Mind you....if they offered to pay...with interest. ;-)

Gulliver, you are funny. :o)))

[Canary42]

In spite of Ed's recent appeal (see link below), there are still a number of posts attacking the poster rather than the post.

When will they ever learn ?
