Her Majesty always committed to Commonwealth but Doctrinal UK commentators bamboozle naïve NZ counterparts

Three powerful figures are now ranged behind a restoration of the Commonwealth trade and emigration bloc centred on Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.They are Her Majesty the Queen, foreign secretary Boris Johnson, and international trade secretary Dr Liam Fox.

Her Majesty is known to favour a return of the active and operational Commonwealth era. The Queen is the head of the Commonwealth and has remained its consistently most ardent supporter.

Foolishly, what is left of the print media here, and which is in thrall to elements of the UK newspapers of the type that sends begging letters for donations to random New Zealanders, has been seriously misled.

This is because speeches written for Her Majesty, which she is obliged under the terms of the British Constitution to deliver word for word, had been naively taken by, for example, The Guardian, to indicate that the Queen had doubts personally about Brexit.

In the event it is the Queen’s privately uttered give-me-three-good-reasons that is now taken by the non-doctrinal dailies in the UK to have accurately reflected the royal view concerning membership of the EU.

Foreign secretary Boris Johnson’s support of the Canada-Australia-New Zealand bloc has been unreservedly-voiced during his previous job as mayor of London.

New trade secretary Dr Liam Fox who visited New Zealand while he was chairman of the Conservative Party made a point while he was here of talking to everyday New Zealanders in order to get his own views on attitudes.

Dr Fox was an un-reserved Brexiteer who made no effort to hedge what turned out to be a successful bet on his part. He campaigned on what he saw as the unsustainable level of immigration created by EU membership.
