And it took 50 yrs and how many lives of the local villagers and
fishermen?

Just checked with the scotish office and Google, Gruniard was an
uninhabited island, Bikini was not, gruniard was a test on our own land,
Bikini was the yanks doing their dirty work in someone elses back yard..

Odd..now the Monte Bello Islands are near which British port?

As for testing on inhabited land....

Following the Mosaic shots, the Monte Bellos were left in silence,
burned with a poison fire which can still be detected nearly 50 years
later.

Refining Armageddon
The British then moved to Maralinga in South Australia between
September 27, 1956 and October 9, 1957, and unleashed an orgy of tests
on the sacred ground known to the Pitjantjatjara people as the "Field
of Thunder". This time, military personnel were deliberately exposed
to test the effects of radiation on live subjects. The Traditional
Owners were left inside the test areas and many were horribly injured
by the black rain that brought the radiation into their camp grounds.
But the British military was more than satisfied with its genocidal
creation.

Christmas Island..is that on the Thames by any chance?

That would be in the Shire of Fiji..correct?
