I will have the updated memberships done by late Tuesday and after having a look at them briefly, I see a few Americans who support us. We have FCS UK, Canada and Australia. Why don't we set up an FCS International branch for non-Crown Commonwealth members and supporters. After all, every little bit helps and I want these people to feel very welcome and not like outsiders looking in.

I've raised it with a few of Kiwis, and have had mixed responses. One woman, whom I suspect of being a whale-hugging Kiwi of the sort who only calls New Zealand "Aro Te Aroa" or whatever it is, hit the roof and started talking about the massacre of the Borioboola-Ga Tribe or some such thing and concluded that any connection with Britain was best forgotten. Another said that it was a good idea, provided that it was led by the USA. And another - my personal favourite - shrugged and said that a federal union of English-speaking countries was probably inevitable anyway, and therefore saw no reason to do anything about it, so gizza beer, mate, and we'll get on with this bun-fight and not pack a wobbly about it, etc...

I suppose that, so long as New Zealanders show any tendency to vote for that Clarke disaster, not much headway will be made there.

But I wonder how many FCS members there are in total these days? Any idea?
