Re: More Britons look for a better life Down Under
What?!! That's completely out of order. His posts are well written and informed. Just 'cos you don't agree with them, well that's up to you, but last time I checked this was a forum, one that everyone is entitled to have a say in with their differing perspectives and opinions. If you can't handle that, well then maybe you're the prick that needs to be banned.

And Daily Mail bashing is a prefectly legitimate pastime - keep up the good work!

Mike Stanton's been there and done it, got the T shirt. Sure he's a wind up merchant but good value. Pommie Bastard was the all time champion wind up merchant though. He was great.

I don't think you lot understand the gravity of this situation. When it does eventually come out that one of the major contributing factors to home ownership being beyond the reach of most Australians is cashed-up British expats who honest Johnny (RIP) opened the floodgates to, don't expect your average Aussie renter to be very welcoming.

Cashed-up Poms are a minor cause of the housing boom anyway.

From the people I talk to everyday, the new influx of UK migrants is seen as a welcome relief, particuarly as most assimilate immediately. Bit different to some of the refugees that take 2 generations before they get the idea that the whole world isn't out to get them.
Come back when you've matured a bit.

Bullshiit, I think you'll find a lot more is to do with offshore Asian investors, the booming mine industry, and the general health of the economy than any other reason.

My message was more for new readers in the UK, just in case they thought any other Aussies felt this way, than this dickhead, your right he doesnt deserve my keystrokes.

Re: More Britons look for a better life Down Under
Actually some Aussies do feel this way.....in much the same way a lot of people who post on here feel about immigrants in the UK. Ever seen those bumper stickers that say "F*@k off we're full!" ?
