Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living
Just because I lived in Derbyshire does not make me english.....I also lived in London, Nottingham, Oxford, Berkshire and Yorkshire....has nothing to do with mu nationality.
You lived in SA and UK .....did that make you South African or English?

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living
From what I can gather listening to some it seems to make them feel better about what they have done to make ridiculous statements about the UK going down the drain and having no future, kids wont have jobs blah blah blah. I talk to friends in the UK all the time and although they say things overall are fine, they still eat the same, holiday the same, go out socially the same. None of us know where ANY country will be in 5 or 10 years.

Re: Anyone Quitting Aus due to High Cost of Living
I'm reaching my conclusions based on my experiences up until a year ago in the UK, where I witnessed the damage Labour inflicted on the country over more than a decade which very nearly resulted in it going broke. In just a little over 10 years they also flooded the country with over 3 million immigrants. The country is in dire straights financially and is entering its harshest austerity period since the 1930's with no end in sight. It suffered damaging riots during the summer, has a massive annual welfare bill which is only going to grow. On top of that Europe which it is a part of is about to go tits up. And you and others say that nothing has changed, there wont be a price to pay? You're as deluded as Gordon Brown was.
You're as deluded as Gordon Brown was. You're deluded.

You're as deluded as Gordon Brown was. I lived through the damage the Tories inflicted and the country recovered.....including the riots in Thatcher's era.
You views on immigration are both reprehensible and hypocritical given your own history

Every advanced country needs a certain amount off immigration to provide needed talent but it's safe to say that the UK has gone too far, and under the previous Labour government is was immigration for immigration's sake.
