We've funded coups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic#Honduras and instigated armies against their own people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_massacre in order to support business interests.


Right, but when have those commercially-motivated activities extended into the Commonwealth countries or the EU?
