    They join the elite group of countries who possess nuclear subs.

    They have everything we have plus a space programme so please tell me Gordon... WTF were you thinking?

    That would never happen under the tories.

    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Fair point, if they can afford to develop and build nuclear submarines, which cost a lot of money even by international standards, then they certainly don't need aid from the UK.

      For that matter where can we apply for financial aid from India?

        You need to realise that approx 250 million per year is chicken feed in national terms. It's more of a nice gesture than anything else, like taking flowers to your neighbour.

        The value of Uk trade with India per year is about 4-5 billion and growing.

        Jeez you guys are so insular. Don't you realise that if we don't reach out and embrace the world we're dead economically?
        Hard Brexit now!

            Well that may be true. We don't seem to have the brains.

              cheapness

              Also, time moves quicker in India. Only last week I was looking at the CV of an Indian chap who'd managed to acquire "4 years advanced experience of SQL Server 2008", it's quite remarkable

                Although it has to be said, we in the UK don't lack agents or recruiters who believe these types of cvs in preference to home-grown "plodders"

                    I had some poppadoms with onion and lime pickle last night, very tasty too.
