Re: why people leave the uk
Why do people in UK come on here and rant about the state of things, without even bothering to do a 3 second search and find out that australia already has exactly what they are moaning about

Just be thankful that we are free to have a debate like this and respect each others right to have opinions. (Even if we think they are wrong. LOL.

I think people in England are gradually being worn down by all the political correctness rubbish going on. They've had 1ong years of Blair and the EU They're not allowed to speak their minds, they're having christmas downgraded etc etc It hasn't got that bad here yet!

Re: why people leave the uk
The UK is changing, i am not saying any more or any less than other countries, but my only thought is with the UK, as it is where i live.
Some things to think about, and this takes me back to when i was young the similarities between now and the late 70's are very very similar?
Labour are coming to an end as a political party which is really trusted. You just cannot believe anything they say anymore. Not that i would put any more trust in the Conservatives, but Labour are in power and Brown is a power hungry loner who does not listen to anyone?
The rich are getting richer, the poor poorer, when we as a nation feel poor, it is because of rising costs, real inflation, and the lack of jobs, unemployment.
As we become fed up with all the lies from the government, we take to mind numbing substances more, we drink more, we try to escape to another place. So we are being told we drink too much, well what a surprise?
The young cannot get jobs, cannot afford a car, cannot afford anything, no future, told to stay on at school, get a load of debt, get a degree, to get a minimum paid wage job etc etc.
This is not an excuse, but the public as a whole start to commit more crime, public mis-behaviour becomes something that we see rise, so we need more police on the streets, this costs, so we pay more in tax, we get poorer.
The whole family breakdown starts, the stress and strain on mum and dad is intense, no work, just about afford the basics, dad drinks too much, mum is tired. Society makes the needy and unemployed feel not too good.
The next thing is all the unemployment is blamed on the fact that the goverment have let too many people in the country, they have taken all our jobs. This is where we are at now.
The feel good factor has gone, rising costs, rising unemployment, rising cost of servicing debt, stagnant wages, stagnant house prices.
Brown really does have some work to do if he is to secure another term in office here in the UK.
Because where i am standing, i do not think the British public feel too well off at the moment, and the young kids leaving school just do not stand a chance?
