Ok, I LOL-ed.

I’m sorry for being British when I hear this news. I get that it’s a reciprocal deal, but it’s pretty shabby.

Don’t feel bad.

Heck, the Aussie PM’s didn’t know about this agreement until 1973.

“Due to its status as a secret treaty, its existence was not known to the Prime Minister of Australia until 1973,[14] and it was not disclosed to the public until 2005!”

Wonder how many Uk PMs knew about this beside Maggie. Some of them were so flaming red during the cold war.
