    Looking forward to the games will be the usual Athletes from Africa,who will obtain visas to enter the U.K ,then claim asylum,or disappear. All in the spirit of the games.

    The wealth wasn't so common nor widespread.
    But very much so isolated and kept for the very few.

    What a subconscious ruse.
    "Commonwealth"
    Akin to some brotherly/sisterly familar love extension.

    That's never what is was.
    Empire. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Why doesn't China compete? The games are open to all former subject nations of her majesty. They would clean up on the medal tally. Do they have ping pong at the CW games?

    In reality, not that significant towards influence and contributions to real world historiography.

    Fanciful thought, is all.
