Commonweal­th Games

-

This year’s Games takes place in Birmingham (28 July-8 August). But while the Commonweal­th is touted as a cause for unity and strength in some camps, it is often criticised by some member states and their diaspora for its roots in colonialis­m and being a remnant of the outdated empire.

When Barbados announced that it was becoming a republic last year, it triggered a domino effect of voices across other Caribbean nations calling for their withdrawal, too, including Jamaica. More than 50 countries are still part of the movement and it’s a good opportunit­y to learn more about other nations and Britain’s relationsh­ip with them. And, as ever, it makes a good learning opportunit­y for food. Commonweal­th Games food party, anyone? Everyone brings a dish from a different participat­ing nation. I’m choosing Jamaica, while I still can.

Commonweal­th Games food party, anyone?
