The POMS did way worse to the world IMHO, and giving up on Australia was (for me) the final straw

I agree with you, the EU was the biggest mistake our government ever made and i wouldn't be suprised if we leave it again within the next ten years, Parties like UKIP make inroads every election. I'm not too sure what you are getting at with the "remember Australia" bit, the input of the AUZ and NZ soldiers are remembered during Rememberance, especially their great war sacrifices.
Saying that Britain did worse to the world is a bit strange, most large european counties had an empire of some sort, for every injustice done by the British, you can find the same for the German, Dutch and French empires, but it was Britain that lead the way in industrial, commercial and social improvements for more than 250 years.
