Happy Commonwealth Day

God Save The Queen.
 
And celebrate the Commonwealth for what it is: a social and cultural arrangement, or series of arrangements, not an actual or potential economic or military bloc.
 
It has never been a single economic area. Even the Empire never was.
 
The importation of certain political mores of the Old Dominions, exemplified by Lynton Crosby, is no more appropriate or acceptable than the importation of the political mores of any other Commonwealth country.
 
Or of many another European country.
 
Or of the United States.
