Britain has been unstinting in sharing the practical results and benefits of its military and scientific research. This has not always been reciprocated by various U.S. Governments. In 1941/42 Britain’s nuclear energy program was far in advance of any other country. We lacked the money to fund the last stages of the development of a nuclear weapon. We asked America to take it on – they did, then refused to share with us the further results of their research which led to the final stage atomic bomb.

America and the Americans have an abundance of generosity and kindness – one couldn’t wish for a better ally but, American Govts. are something entirely different and by my interpretation of recent history, that is, history of the last one hundred years, have worked consistently to undermine and reduce British power and influence.
