Non - Commonwealth Games

Of course the bloody French didn't have Colonies did they ?....not Algeria or Cameroon's or several others, .......nor the Germans with German East Africa ( Rwanda, Burundi,Tanzania)...
..the French also had parts of the Carribbean and Newfoundland ..and areas of Canada..
Things changed during and after Wars....but they were All At It.....as China are now in Africa...

Turkey ( Ottomans) took slaves. ( not abolished until 1924 ). like the Romans and Greeks ...as did Morrocans( Barbary Pirates)

But No.... Britain has to take all the f√cking flak from the bloody Woke.

Al - Give it a rest, no one is getting angry about this. Birmingham happy to host it, athletes very happy to take part.

My interest is middle distance and Scotland will do well with Jake Wightman, Josh Kerr, Laura Muir and Ailish McColgan. England not as blessed in this area apart from Keely Hodgkinson.

Just snaffled 2 tickets for the Sunday night. Womens LJ and 1500m, Mens 800 and the relays. Only £22 each.

Maybe , because each country sets their own Q time!
NI set there's at 32.45 , England 32.35 and the race could be won sub 30 depending on how it is raced.
There are no heats in the 10k so getting lapped 5 times may well happen.
 
Article from four years ago.

What sets the Commonwealth apart from other assembled nations is that all members share a commitment to democracy, humanity and equality. Unlike the United Nations, all countries have an equal voice, no matter their size.

This ensures even a small country like Nauru, with a population of just 10,000, has a voice as equal as India’s, with a population of more than 1.2 billion.

The Commonwealth Games celebrates this commonality every four years. In fact, the Commonwealth Sport Movement is an extension of the Games. Through the power of sports, there is continuous engagement with communities in between the Games years, embracing and celebrating diversity while promoting sport for development. Evolving with the times, the modern Commonwealth vision is “building peaceful, sustainable and prosperous communities globally, by inspiring Commonwealth Athletes to drive the impact and ambition of all Commonwealth Citizens through sport.”

Isn't that why they have a government department to invent replacements for English words and the Francophonie (HQ Paris) where they bully their ex-colonies into subservience to France promote French language and culture?

I guess when you think you're a global superpower but you're only notable contribution to the world for the last 100 years is parkour it must be pretty rough.

I won’t put you on ignore. Comedy gold.
 
My point proven in the 1st hour.

Women's Rugby 7's.

England 57 Sri Lanka 0

It's not sport in any shape or form, just humiliation from the have's against the have not's.
