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.
