Bridgetown: Barbados ditched Britain's Queen Elizabeth as head
of state, forging a new republic on Tuesday with its first-ever
president and severing its last remaining colonial bonds nearly
400 years after the first English ships arrived at the Caribbean
island.

At the strike of midnight, the new republic was born to the
cheers of hundreds of people lining Chamberlain Bridge in the
capital, Bridgetown. A 21 gun salute fired as the national
anthem of Barbados was played over a crowded Heroes Square.

Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, stood somberly as
Queen Elizabeth's royal standard was lowered and the new
Barbados declared, a step which republicans hope will spur
discussion of similar proposals in other former British colonies
that have the Queen as their sovereign.

"We the people must give Republic Barbados its spirit and its
substance," President Sandra Mason, the island's first
president, said. "We must shape its future. We are each other's
and our nation's keepers. We the people are Barbados."

In the immortal words of President Donald Trump, "We are now a
shithole".

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
