What about the great civic duty shown by your drunken soccer hooligans that
riot in Europe stabbing people to death.
Mike when will you realise Britain is not the great Empire it was 100 years ago, but a small, overcrowded, polluted, race and class divided island that is now part of Europe

What Mike must love about your posts is you make him look reasonable and balanced.

"My cock is bigger than your cock."

The arrogance of the typically ill-informed Aussie.

Try asking Aussies to name one world-famous, born-and-bred Aussie scientist. The silence will be deafening.

It is with great civic pride that we Brits tested our nukes in your backyard; literally.

He helped a lot of 3rd world inhabitants to see.

Errr...a slight problem; he was a Kiwi.

It seems you've proved my point.

Who cares, it was in the middle of the outback, no one lives there or ever goes anywhere near there. The land that was destroyed was useless ugly desert wasteland, nuking the place made it look better. :p
Anyway did'nt we make you pay a fortune in compensation to the Aboriginies
because it was their land you nuked. We also gave you a massive bill to clean up the radiated land. Who has the last :D now.

You were hoping for nuclear technology but because any info that went to Canberra also went to Moscow the technology was never given to Australia.

Just one of many British gushes, no help from Australia needed:

The February 9, 1944 cable: Klaus Fuchs and Harry Gold

Doubt that Britain ever intended to "give" nuclear technology to Australia - just the ashes. About the only "secrets" that Australia could have relayed to the Soviets would have been the size of the explosions - which would be readily observable anyway.
