You really have to have sympathy for Charles III when he is obliged to set the highest standards of conduct as King of the United Kingdom and its realms, as well as Head of the Commonwealth, yet is beset by the quandry of having to deal with individuals accused of having sex with minors.
The King is already facing calls for his brother, Prince Andrew, to be stripped of his title of Duke of York by the British Parliament after he lied about his contact with the notorious American pedophile, the late Jeffery Epstein.
Andrew swore that he had cut off all contact with Epstein after the allegations against him became known but a new email has emerged that proves they were still in touch long afterwards and the Prince told Epstein that “we are both in this together!!!!” The four exclamation marks have made it all the more sinister.
Now poor King Charles has had to receive another accused paedophile in the form of Fiji’s President and Head of State, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, who has consistently refused to deny that he impregnated a 15 year old girl with “special needs” who was the daughter of one of his retainers in his chiefly household in Taveuni. He was never brought to trial reportedly because of his chiefly status, which makes it all the more scandalous.
It beggars belief that the combination of this allegation plus Ratu Naiqama’s conviction and jail sentence for treason after the 2000 Mutiny didn’t exclude him from the Presidency. It has given him the further opportunity to exercise a pernicious influence on national life by protecting his old friend and relative, Salesi Temo, from calls by the Opposition that Temo be suspended as Chief Justice after being accused of perjury and obstructing and perverting the course of justice by the Ashton-Lewis Supreme Court Commission of Inquiry.
Yet it also beggars belief that Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu would be inflicted on the King and Head of the Commonwealth, especially as the crisis over the King’s brother, Prince Andrew, is currently dominating the headlines in Britain. (see below)
What kind of nation have we become, Fiji? We were once trumpeted as “the way the world should be” but are now better known for our tolerance of under-age sex, sexual assault generally, domestic violence, drug-taking, rampant theft and the scandalous behaviour of our official office holders such as Lynda Tabuya, Aseri Radrodro and our degenerate Head of State – the Tui Cakau. Plus Salesi Temo and the gaggle of ministers including Manoa Kamikamica and Biman Prasad implicated in corrupt conduct by the CoI and currently the subject of FICAC and police investigations.
A day for anyone with an ounce of decency to be ashamed to be Fijian when this loathsome individual is chosen to be the embodiment of our nation’s values – supposedly the best of us – and who we inflict on the world. And especially send to meet King Charles, who handed us our instruments of Independence 55 years ago and whose mother Sitiveni Rabuka deposed as Queen of Fiji in 1987 without asking her, or any of us for that matter, whether we agreed with his treasonous conduct in seizing power unlawfully and declaring a republic.
And the Prime Minister has the hide to campaign against the 2013 Constitution on the basis that the nation wasn’t consulted? What about the removal of the monarchy? Now we bask in the aura of royalty when it suits us and insult King Charles by sending a convicted criminal and alleged paedophile to see him.
A complete disgrace.

The story all Britain is talking about. From the Telegraph UK two days ago:

Yet in Fiji, no-one says a word about Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.
How are these geriatric shit heads travelling around the world when the people they need to work for are struggling to get by?
First class travel at great expense to Fiji impoverished tax payers I expect .
The total bill for the never ending merry go round of business class travel for all the government ministers, together with lavish hotel stays and generous allowances must be astronomical. They spend more time outside of Fiji than at home!
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. This includes lawyers rushing to court to challenge findings of an independent inquiry. Place has gone to the….
In Fiji we love, honour and reward traitors, Baimaans, adulterers, paedophile, wife beaters, incestuous Relos, and of course our venereal veneration of the open Sulu Talatala preying on the flock…and having a Pedo Prez is just a logical extension of Fijian culture and tradition.
Sa Dina, GD.
He met the wrong guy.
Should have met Prince Andrew and shared their experiences in life.
They could have talked about his strange obsessions, in adulthood he had about forty teddy bears on his bed which the servants had to arrange in a particular way. The servants got a severe ear bashing if they were out of position.
Maybe explains some of his predilections.
😁
Does anyone remember the good old days when all we had to complain about was silly stuff like a bad flag design?
Now we have a total collapse of governance.
Victor Lal seems to have a good deal of respect for the Prez. His recent article praised him saying that the Prez was meeting soldiers in UK without the pomp and ceremony as Rabuka and his clowns in Sydney. The fact that these men are traveling the world without reasons is amazing. Why is Baiman not holding them to account. Every travel should be scrutinized, proven that is absolutely necessary and that it will bring about some sort of benefit to Fiji. The argument that it’s in their respective budgets is not good enough when the country and it’s people are falling apart.
And someone should expose the President’s past deed. But who?
What pathetic Fiji Head of State!
Only in Fiji can you have a President who is both a pedophile and a convicted criminal.
He like the PM and Ministers is wandering around the world, not present at Fiji day and what do the people of Fiji gain from this? Are they better off individually or as a Nation?
All the people of Fiji get is another bill for travel, accommodation, food and allowances whilst infrastructure, government services and the people of Fiji suffer and more 0f them slip further into poverty.
when we get to the next election remember what was ‘promised’ and what has been delivered!
As I had said earlier, after masi poloing King Charles, the pedo is then off to India for medical treatment by the very vulagis he detests.
Hopefully he will drop and die there.
Bebe Temo would not let Khaiyum go abroad for medical treatment saying treatment was available locally.
What has the pedo prez got that the great vulagi land is to be his saviour?
Bloody humiliating – FIJI HAS GONE TO THE DOGS!
When the people thought that they were voting for a change but got short changed instead.
In this day and age of communications technology there is a minimal necessity to travel overseas. Very rare occasions may require only one or two visits in person. Most meetings and con ferences can be via video link. Buckingham Palace would have been aware if this visit a long time ago. Its not something thought overnight and a flight is booked the next morning or wait listed to board should a seat become available unexpectedly.
Prior approval of the Cabinet is also required (correct me if I am wrong here). The Presidents itinerary would have been planned in advance. Fiji had been kept in the dark until it was discovered by social media. His Non Excellency and all the Unhonorables of Fiji are truly traveling the gravy planes globe trotting. I wonder how many would be able to go past Nadi at their own expense.
