The English foray into foreign lands saw the spread of the game globally in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. The English took their beloved game to all their colonies and lauded their skill at the game over their colonist subjects. They were the masters of the game they invented. Fast forward to the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century and the very same English are being given a lesson in the game they were once invincible at. How things have changed. Colonists being given lessons by their colonies!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Cricket however does not seem to be the only game where the English are taking lessons from their colonies. The craft of politics was also an area where the English prided themselves in supposedly playing by the governance and principles rule-book. Times have changed in this space as well. On Monday morning UK time the British Prime Minister shocked the world with a bombshell announcement that they themselves would have reprimanded and admonished should one of their former colonies have done so. A former failed British PM David Cameron was parachuted into the plum role of Foreign Secretary following the sacking of Suella Braverman from her Home Office role and incumbent foreign Secretary James Cleverly replacing Baverman. Even journalists outside 10 Downing Street were left aghast when a car pulled up at Downing Street and David Cameron alighted!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Brits have always prided themselves in good governance and \u2018above-reproach\u2019 politics. They looked down disparagingly upon those \u2013 especially their once colonies \u2013 who bend the rules. And bend them they did. As a past PM Cameron was made a life pier by a stroke of King Charles\u2019s pen, walked into the House of Lords and then made a Minister by current British PM Rishi Sunak \u2013 himself a product of the colonies. Interesting!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The sacked Home secretary Suella Braverman also seems to be doing her homework. It would appear that the writing is on the wall for the beleaguered Sunak led Tory government. Perhaps it is time to leave the sinking ship? What then is the best option? Most pollies \u2013 globally, either glue themselves to the political arena for life or manoeuvre themselves into plum corporate roles post their life in politics. What better way to achieve this than to use political office and position to curry favour with powerful lobby groups by rocking boats. Known for her controversies during political office her rant against the Police in respect of differential treatment of Jewish and Palestinian protesters last week was the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back. Coincidentally, Suella is also of colonial background with her Indian background parents migrating to the UK from Kenya and Mauritius.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The one common narrative emerging from this episode is that the \u2018c\u2019 word exists across the world \u2013 be it first world nations or not. Corruption can be veiled in different guises. But the fundamentals remain the same \u2013 especially in the political arena. As long as there is some unfair benefit to be gained ethics and principles fly out of the window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It would appear now that the British \u2018holier-than-thou\u2019 attitude has been shattered and surely their \u2018do as I say\u2019 command sounds hollow. How times have changed. The powerful dominion that Britain once exercised over its colonies ended some time ago. It is now seeing fit to take lessons from its colonies!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><em>The author has been in Australia for 30 years.
