Barbados to remove Queen Elizabeth as head of state

The government of Barbados says the time has come to leave the colonial past behind.

Barbados has announced its intention to remove Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and become a republic.

"The time has come to fully leave our colonial past behind," the Caribbean island nation's government said.
It aims to complete the process in time for the 55th anniversary of independence from Britain, in November 2021.

A speech written by Prime Minister Mia Mottley said Barbadians wanted a Barbadian head of state.
"This is the ultimate statement of confidence in who we are and what we are capable of achieving," the speech read.
Buckingham Palace said that it was a matter for the government and people of Barbados.
A source at Buckingham Palace said that the idea "was not out of the blue" and "has been mooted and publicly talked about many times", BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said.

Barbados key facts:

• One of the more populous and prosperous Caribbean islands
• Gained its independence from Britain in 1966
• Queen Elizabeth remains its constitutional monarch
• Once heavily dependent on the sugar exports, its economy has diversified into tourism and finance
• Its prime minister is Mia Mottley, elected in 2018 and the first woman to hold the post

The statement was part of the Throne Speech, which outlines the government's policies and programmes ahead of the new session of parliament.
While it is read out by the governor-general, it is written by the country's prime minister.
The speech also quoted a warning from Errol Barrow, Barbados's first prime minister after it gained independence, who said that the country should not "loiter on colonial premises".

I wonder if they did it on their own, or cut a deal with the E.U.

Im sure the E.U is looking at all Englands cash cows and wants to

cut them off, make England pay for brexit.

or

Its just time and Barbados said enough we are going to be what we were always meant to be...

A Republic....

REPBULIC > DEMOCRACY

ALWAYS WILL BE

Props to Barbados...

Barbados is full of some self hating Black people. Proud of the fact they're still a fucking colony and racist as hell to Black people from anywhere else.

Fuck them.

Thats bahamas not barbados

 

[Trunks4191]

went to bahamas for many years. the chicks are alittle grimey but the people were racist as hell to their own kind. IT was a place I dreaded to go on vacation.

BUT

LAst year I went to barbados for the first time and I felt the love there. people were cool as hell and eveyone was friendly.

 

[World B Free]

Fuk'em all, jettison those fukin' white supremacists: POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

This has been my experience as well.

Naw bruh...it's Barbados. I felt better dealings with the folks in the Bahamas.
I'm not saying all the people were prejudice but too many were (especially when it came to receiving service). It's clear they suck the white man's dick over there.

 

[Simply_Black]

Jamaica should have also done that decades ago... I'm hoping that they will quickly follow Barbados's example... a country cannot claim to be totally independent if they still have the Queen as head of state.

 

[Simply_Black]

Will still be known as Little England.

Yep... white brits own majority of the expensive property in Barbados... in fact most use it as their second home to get away from the English winter.

 

[lazarus]

if the island wasnt so dense, i might consider moving there when im past working age in america.

 

[lazarus]

i never been, but it seems more people are having a positive experience over the few negative. what's the overall consensus about barbados and its treatment of black americans? catering to the white man is one thing to get money, doing it while neglecting us is another.

 

[prose00]

Its about time!

What are these colonies scared of anyway??

They all pride themselves on national identity (Jamaicans especially ) but still wanna be eating off they daddy's dick. BE A MAN!

Think about what it would take to run a country then reread your statement.
