| Re: David Gilmour: CBE Quote:
And then, there were 13! <link> With the handover of Hong Kong to China, Britain had not been completely divested of its empire. The hangover from Empire means that there are still 13 territories that remain under British administration. As a rule, each of the remaining 13 territories are just too small or remote to survive on their own as independent entities. The starkest example of this kind of territory is Pitcairn Island. With a population of just 54 it has to be one of the remotest places on earth. It's quite a fitting testimony to empire that the inhabitants of this island are mainly descended from the infamous HMS Bounty mutineers...

| Re: David Gilmour: CBE Besides, the commonwealth still consists of most of the countries that were once part of the empire. Which is why the commonwealth games is embarrassing for England (gosh darn those Australians). Don't lollipop women get MBE's these days?
