Prince Charles denounced the "atrocity of slavery" and
Britain's grim legacy of the slave trade as Barbados
removed Queen Elizabeth as head of state and swore in its
first president.

In a speech at Barbados' transition ceremony on Monday
evening the Prince referenced the darkest period of Britain's
colonial past, which saw the trafficking of people from
Africa to Barbados and the Caribbean.

"From the darkest days of our past, and the appalling atrocity
of slavery which forever stains our history the people of this
island forged their path with extraordinary fortitude," Charles
said.

" Emancipation, self-government, and independence were your
way points. Freedom, justice, and self-determination have been
your guides. Your long journey has brought you to this
moment not as your destination but as a vantage point
from which to survey a new horizon, " he added.

individual,

Our Indigenous people would not agree with you.
Neither would many who also suffered as a
result of "The White Australia Polcy" and so
many other "remnants"of the "colonial" influence
including our public service - as you keep pointing
out.

With the cultural diversity of England and Australia, there is a growing dislike of the supremcy of English culture and institutions even among ordinary Australians. There is a polarisation of values in America into two camps that is leading to the dumbing down of society to believe lies and hatred of supremacy of Western Culture represented by Westminster's original values.

The power vaccum will give way to communist dictators promising the people a bright new future where everyone is cared for by the State.

They tried that in Eastern Europe. It did not work.
