Happy Empire Day! It’s 24th May Again!
A glorious day, too long not celebrated.
Those were the words I had prepared for the 24th May, but after the Mother Country was attacked this week, and grievously wounded by an evil Islamist, I suppose it’s inappropriate to sound too cheerful. Nevertheless…
No matter the British Empire is no more – the French still celebrate Bastille Day, after all, though the Bastille no longer stands!
They do so for the ideas and ideals it represents.
So too with the imperial legacy!
For without the British Empire, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and many other proud countries would not exist.
