Is imperialism a new passion for the left?

According to P&O an on-board same-sex marriage cost about $AU2,120 on top of the normal tickets.

But the cruise lines are only concerned about Bermuda's new laws because of their principled human rights commitment, aren't they? Possible loss of business has nothing to do with it and perish the thought.

I wonder if Bermuda's Governor John Rankin has one of those splendid colonial tall white pith helmets festooned with feathers with an accompanying crisp white uniform of the type that were last seen in 1997 when the British handed over Hong Kong to the Chinese government? It would be wonderfully nostalgic especially if he wore a sword as well when he brought the rebellious natives to heel with a few courageous manly words.

But I somehow doubt that the British Labour Party and the British Greens would actually approve of his being kitted out in such colonial uniform because it wouldn't be politically correct anymore, would it? Mind you, they still want him to act like some 19^th century colonial autocrat and put the natives in their place. For their own good, of course.
