By the privilege of birth place I guess they'd argue they have more education and skill to offer the work force but there are plenty who are accepting benefits over in Australia and complaining about immigration into the UK who are shockingly blind to their hypocrisy - tribalism is a sad human trait and it's great that many can lift themselves beyond it.

Shows how in depth their research is.
I'm a reporter at the Daily Mail newspaper in London and we're running a story in tomorrow's newspaper about British expats who move to Australia but return to the UK. It's following the release of a survey which says more Brits are coming home to Oz after a couple of years rather than staying out there for good. We're looking for a case study of someone who decided Australia wasn't for them and came back home.
I was hoping you guys might know of someone who fits the bill and might like to be interviewed by us really quickly this evening (Nov 1). I appreciate it's really short notice but if anyone does spring to mind, please do drop me a line.
All best wishes,

In the past, people broadly declaring that 'people are in denial' as if most people who like living in Australia must be wrong and by definition in denial is wicked and in my opinion goes against one of the tenants of civilized people - that they have the right to self-determination.
Of course, people must know it does not apply to all - but it's the sort of thing that is dangerous on BE.
This is the thing I find wrong about BE. A level of what you might call ignorance in other areas. And that's before we argue or debate specifics - whether objectively, or subjectively.

Maybe - but it's a matter of injustice to impose this view on other people who it may not apply to - to be safe, I would offer that some people are happy, others aren't; it's working for some, not for others.
