Same **** Different Bucket!!!!!!
Familiar phrase to anyone????
I`m sick of people putting Australia down so much and comparing it tho the UK.
O.K. so Australia has crime too. Doesn`t everywhere? But what I want to ask is ....The majority of Brits leaving the U.K seem to be doing so because of the state of the country. i.e:- crime rates, illegal immigrants, yob culture etc. etc.
Now, the majority of Brits that return to the U.K seem to be doing so due to homesickness, not because of the state of the place. So, instead of banging on about people wearing rose-tinted glasses, try supporting them instead!
Opinions are one thing. Sh!iting in buckets is another.

There is no point emigrating to escape crime because every country has it.

I realise this, and I know that a lot of people don`t want others moving with false expectations, it`s just that some people come across as though the place is just like the U.K. Escaping crime factors is one small part of most peoples reasons for leaving, but like I said, how many people return for the same reason?

I'm the biggest advocate for moving to Aus, but in many ways it is the same shit.
Although I for one am happier to do my business in a shinier bucket

Now that your bucket is nice and shiny. Why not get Grayling to polish the handle. Or even better, the inside!
