I trust in their effort to 'decolonise' they'll also be making reparations to the indigenous inhabitants of the place ? (:

Brexiteers will be foaming about this. Thought Brexit was all about returning to Rule Britannia and building the empire back up?! Barbados knows the crack.

Treasonous subjects belong in the Tower. I expect Mia’s head on London Bridge and limbs displayed throughout the colonies as a warning.

The Spanish and the Portguese enslaved most of them and rest fled elsewhere. The Island was reportedly uninhabited when the British arrived some years later.

You have no evidence for this falsehood. The Queen is not relevant to Barbados.
