Hmm
I thought the done thing was to wait until after the disaster was over before you start making jokes.

The average backyard bonfire doesn't kill hundreds of people or destroy thousands of houses & hundreds of thousands of hectares of bushland.

arse
before you start...I am a Londoner through and through..except for the fact I live in Melbourne (2 yrs out of my 36 years).

I agree, I can honestly say that for how good they have it here Aussies are fucking atrocious whingers, unbelievably racist, ignorant of their own history (I heard a 2nd generation Italian calling a 3rd generation Greek an Immigrant bastard).

However, when 300 people die in a fire which wipes out tens of thousands of hectares and leaves several thousand homeless I think it's only fair to be somewhat moved by it.

52 people died in the London bombings... I was unfortunate enough to be travelling on the underground at the time, I was fortunate enough to not be hurt. Imagine telling someone in London at that time to shut up because it's not a big deal.

And don't get be started on how the UK public and media are *still* going on about Diana. 1 person dies and we still hear about it 11 years later.

I don't normally respond to this sort of thing but as the topic is Hypocrisy it seemed appropriate.
