John Without Land was the brother of Richard the Lionheart, who was captured for ransom.
They tried to break Richard’s spirit by bringing a lion before him.
But he, as befits a king, tore its heart out.
At least that’s what the legends say…

John and the children of the divorce between the United Kingdom and European Union, who remained in the United Kingdom, are connected only by name.
For the Europeans from the continent possess no land that could, as a territory, apply for its own sports team during the Commonwealth Games.

I kindly ask for consideration of my request to allow participants of the Commonwealth Games to compete under the Polish/European Union flag, should any of them wish to do so.
And if that is too difficult, then please allow the Commonwealth Games to be held in one of the nations belonging to the European Union.

The largest group of Europeans living in the United Kingdom are Poles.
Therefore, I ask for permission to host the Commonwealth Games in a Polish city — Gdańsk.

The Three Dikgosi Monument in Gaborone recalls a certain moment in history.
The removed hat of Chief Khama III represents respect for the British Queen.
The outstretched hand of Chief Sebele I symbolizes a small population.
The staff of Chief Bathoen I expresses dignity and truthfulness.

And I?
The only gifts I can offer are my heart and my dreams — the most precious treasures I possess.
