Many people leaving the UK are very patriotic but theres only so much most people can take, watching their Country change for the worse before their very eyes.
So please give people credit for trying by taking action to find hopefully something better for their families.

In Australia all bad news stories end with oh well lets finish with a worse one from some where else , in the UK its lets find something happy happening else where?

What makes you an authority on anything but your own misery?

THE streets of Soweto are safer than those of Hackney and people in the east London district are more likely to be treated in hospital after being shot or stabbed than in South Africa's most dangerous township, new statistics have revealed.
Figures from the main trauma centres in each area show that while Homerton Hospital in Hackney treats 55 knife or gunshot wounds each month, the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto - which has 10 times as many people in its catchment area - sees only six times as many such cases.
Shame the research didn't include Johannesburg General or some other pleasant hospitals in Kwazulu Natal, the Cape, Mpumulanga etc. - I think you'll find the crime statistics in other parts of the country make Hackney look like a sleepy hamlet in the quaint English countryside.

Just watch the stats for Perth drop once PB leaves, and those for his destination shoot up when he settles in.
