The African Queen

The white Zimbabweans blotted their copybook with the UDI, and poured a whole bottle of ink all over it when they purportedly abolished the monarchy while removing the Union Flag from their own. But black sheep and prodigal sons are still sheep and sons all the same.

Through whatever representative body they have or can devise, they should declare their allegiance to the Queen as Head of the Commonwealth and their Head as a people, explicitly placing themselves under the (in principle, reciprocal) protection of all those who say likewise.

And considering that the Queen is Head of State from The Bahamas to the Solomon Islands, and remains Paramount Chief of Fiji, so should the Matabele.

  1. Why do The Bahamas have a capital H but the Solomon Islands don't?

  2. I have no idea, but that's the way it is.
