The regularity and interest with which British newspapers cover these former colonies seems to suggest that the hangover of Britain's imperial past hasn't yet gone. By frequently reporting on these nations [both news and opinion pieces, as well as usual British foreign policy propaganda], it appears that British news media is still trying to express or exert some sort of indirect control [or maybe "claim"] over these countries/territories, as if it's still the "duty" or "right" of Britain to stay interested in the affairs of these independent, sovereign countries. British newspapers' coverage of Hong Kong, for example, is quite nasty at times, as if Britain has anything to do with HK.
