I'm surprised Australia hasn't republicised already. What's keeping you guys ??
I'd also agree that the view of some elements in the UK that the country's past deserves some sort of respect is hilarious. I'm proud of plenty of inventions, or ideas, or cultural achievements which the UK has given to the world, but don't think our reputation for subjection & oppression is worthy of celebration.
I've never visited Australia, and probably never will due to my intense dislike of long journeys, but my nephew has emigrated there and the positive attitude of Australians is what drew him to leave. Your adopted country appears to have much to celebrate, so respect due...
There, didn't rise to the bait once :tape:
Have a good Australia Day, mate :cheer2:
