So please, Stanton, accept that those of who like Australia have an 'alternative viewpoint' to you, and that (in your own words) our views have 'equal validity' to your own.
You're little more than a bully and you should *seriously* consider your actions before you accuse others of hypocrisy.

No wonder the Australian's have such a bad view of us with moaners like you around. If you don't have anything good to say about Australia, then GET OUT of the Australia forum...
I have watched this forum for quite a while (under a different username of course), and I have also read a lot of your posts Stanton, and it sickens me to listen to you whinge constantly. I was quite prepared to suffer the occasional "UK is much much better, Australia is ****", but you have taken it too far. You came, you failed to see, you left for pastures brown and soggy again. Get over it. You're no longer an expat. So why are you still posting?
AND THAT GOES FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO WHINGE, BITCH OR MOAN ABOUT ANYTHING...IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING POSITIVE OR CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY, SHOVE OFF...

No bully, buddy. Each can express their own views, eg you or Google Bitch (aka Rash the Incurable).
BTW, I don't accuse you of hypocrisy, you are a hypocrite.
