The Caribbean nation's Governor-General, Sandra Mason, said in a speech on Tuesday that"the time has come to fully leave our colonial past behind."She said the country will become a republic as early as November of next year, when it celebrates its 55th anniversary of independence from the British empire.
"A royal source told CNN that the decision is a matter for the government and people of Barbados, adding that it was not"out of the blue" and had been"mooted and publicly talked" about many times.Several countries dropped the Queen as head of state in the years after they gained independence, with Mauritius the last to do so, in 1992.
Congratulations Barbados for casting off the imperialist yoke & standing proud!!
Every other country must drop theirs too! The Kingdom of God must emarge here on earth as it is in Heaven! Warning! Heavenly Troops re fully stationed at the four corner of earth. God is not a respecter of any person.
Removing The Queen Elizabeth is a suicide ! remember that.
If Barbados can be free and become independent from United Kingdom UK without any reason of crisis, hatred, racial or religious segregation then I believe BIAFRANS iafrans have too many reasons to separate from Nigeria 🇳🇬. Biafrans need help now
Let’s see how it works for them.
Bout time
It still amazes me that Canada and Australia haven't done so yet......
❤️❤️❤️
Stand up for independence!
This was love for old traditions... Even elsewhere Queen/ king in modern era is merely a symbolic notion...As they are unable to run modern welfare states...
❤️
This is democracy, the people want to severe ties, it is their right to do so! Britain wishes Barbados all the best and hopefully remain allies and friends.
As big a royalist as I am, and although I want to strengthem our bonds with the commonwealth rather than cut them, I do however have to respect the sovereignty of Barbados, wish them luck
Yes ,F the British, the true villains of History.
Congratulations, Barbados! 👏👏👏
Barbados will invade UK after that 😂
NOW FUCK NEXT YEAR I
Shall we take everything else with us? Law, democracy, roads, infrastructure etc etc etc, for once we can say that Barbados has grown off the backs of whites....
Who protects them from hostile takeover now? Asking for a big boat of pirate friends. Thanks.
Three decades a little too late.
Good for them!
I love this song.
Rihanna
What is Barbados btw? A fish type?
Remember to also leave behind all their aid, trade, and tourism dollars.
Time to invade and put down the rebellion.
Nice😎
Good for them
i am totally shocked
We wish them luck, and let's sit back and see if they get there version of papper and bady doc.
Congratulations Barbados! I hope Canada follows in your footsteps!
Great!!! fuck the queen!
The Queen has always stated that the future of commonwealth realms is a matter for their own people
Wow! No Brexit for those wonderful islanders. Congratulations.
If not for western colonialism half the world’s population would still be living in the woods and eating rats and snakes.
Hopefully, it doesn't happen to Barbados like Haiti, after they became an independent republic from France.
Very embarrassing, being governed by the queen in this era nonsense
Nonsense
England soon too
Britain must end this nonsense of monarchy, if Britain wants monarchy let them keep their monarchy, nonsense
EmilyShapiro1 I would like Canada to do the same thing.
This has been nonsense at its highest level, being governed by monarchy in this era?nonsense
the_60s_at_60 The politician leading the campaign for republicanism in Barbados will be its next president HowItWorks
Wasn’t US the first?
Be careful the US might overtake you
glory to Barbados!
Wow
If one totally forgots the past and haven’t learnt from it, they are sure to repeat it...
Good
More power to the people Barbados. The monarchy is a relic of ages past. Glad to see them taking steps towards independence.
I bet it's because Prince Charles is a far-left man who embraces disproven science like man-made climate change!
It's hard to imagine, in 2020, that ANY country still has a queen, or a king. Countries that do are stuck in the middle ages.
Reptilian
Yessir time to do away with their tyranny
Off topic-- Brianna Keilar brought the receipts just now. Great job. Thank you. 👏😃✌
Why? Did the Chinese offer you a better deal?
Crimes against humanity will always be remembered
This is great news.
Good move 💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿
It’s funny they drop theirs and we pick one up.
Barbados is in the right direction
Cool. Don't bother calling us next time you have a hurricane.
Long overdue
A fantastic lady
