I wanted to clarify something.When I post News stories,ones from the US get a lot of responses.When I posted on the unrest in Belarus it didn't get much response.Or other non american posts have not gotten responses.
So maybe it's better to post UK stories here.
I did not mean to say Barbados is a unimportant or trivial place.I apologize for not explaining better.
Barbados is not part of the United Kingdom any more than Canada is. You may be thinking of Bermuda, which is a British Overseas Territory although technically not part of the UK.
I know Barbados has had independence since 1966 but until today the official head of state is Queen Elizabeth II
Did you read the post I made above via Reuters
Barbados removed QE2 as there official head of state and is now a republic.
Canada is not part of the UK but Queen Elizabeth is there head of state at lest symbolically.
Many countries not part of the UK have your Queen as there technical head of state but no longer Barbados,they are now a republic.
Please read my previous post or the Reuters article.
