@sampowell1649 That's definitely what they like the world to think, it's far from the truth though.
Speak to the average real Aussie and they'll tell you something different, the same is true for the Scottish, the Welsh, the Canadian and the New Zealanders,...they want out.
Their elites get perks;
a placement for their children at Cambridge or Oxford, regardless if they are smart or thick as mud.
a senior membership on the board at BP, never having to appear irl and a ridiculously high salary.
a string of tax breaks,...only for members of course.
Getting invited to all the posh parties,....one has to keep up appearances mustn't one.
a political passport aka a get out of jail for free card,...for those sticky "Prince Andrew" situations, etc.
And if one has betrayed the soul of their respective sovereign nation's people enough to the Brits to the point you've got a very brown nose and smell a bit funny,...their Queeny might just bestow a title upon you for services rendered to the crown ;).
Challenging this carefully crafted English myth is just not cricket old boy ;).
