The UK being kept in secrecy from the Manhattan project is absolutely correct.
Yes, they were part of the beginning (MAUD report) but later cut off from full Manhattan Project information after 1942 due to U.S. security concerns and then formally cutoff by the McMahon Act of 1946, which made sharing of nuclear technology fully illegal. This is why for example Britain went on to develop its own bomb independently after the war, because they were not privy to the full development. And why any sort of collaboration only resumed more than a decade later in 1958, after the UK independently became a nuclear power.
If they were part of it, why would they need to design their own? Think about it logically.
I am really not saying anything that isnt widely known or understood. The american nuclear program in general was highly controlled information that was not shared to allies. The Manhattan project was kept in secrecy from the UK, contrary to your claim.
Are you from the UK?
There is this bizarre yet pervasize belief that Britain is still relevant on the global stage. I wonder if the overstating of Britain's very minimal role in the Manhattan project stems from the same vein.
In reality the UK is roughly the economic size of one US state and its modern role is that of a sports venue and tourist destination for more powerful countries. If you are from the UK, this discussion makes sense.
