In praise of.....
The Daily Mail!!!
It may seem a little simplistic to state, yet this
one eyed far right propaganda rag seems to be the reason that a lot of
Brits want to leave for OZ.
This crap-rag has an agenda to rid the UK
of B.Liar at all costs so will constantly bemoan the UK and its problems
(benefit scroungers, illegal immigrants etc). Whilst at the same time
reporting on "the good life" in places like Australia.
The question I
post to the likes of lucyB is:
Do you not think that Australia also
suffers from
Dole scroungers/cheats
Immigrants that do not integrate
(flaming Lebos, etc)
High taxes that pay for lazy pikeys
High housing
costs relative to wages
Arrogant, corrupt, self serving politicians
An
expensive and not brilliant healthcare system
Long hour’s culture at
work and compulsory unpaid overtime
All in all I hate to see the UK
being slated, when it is an advanced country in most ways compared to
Aus. Someone said earlier that if your life is perceived to be crap in
UK, moving 12000 miles is not too likely to improve it.
Move to
Australia by all means, but do not try to convince us that have seen
both countries that the UK is a sinking ship that is doomed, both
countries have positives and negs. To decry the land of your birth that
has given you the opportunities and the wealth to move away is a very
sad act. After all how many Australians have the luxury of
contemplating moving abroad??? Most of them can only afford one overseas
trip, either as a student backpacker or as an OAP, seeing abroad before
meeting their maker. Something Uk immos will find when living in Aus
and earring Aussie dollars, the rubber dollar does not buy many, if any
foreign holidays.

.some of us don't have a
crap life here my friend!
We are moving because the climate suits us
better there..we like an adventure..we want to spend more time outdoors
bike riding with the kids.
Please don't insult everyone on here - we
are intelligent adults who know the pros and cons of what we are doing.
We don't need the likes of you preaching to us!
BOG OFF!!!

Foreign holidays
- don't need to take them in Australia - plenty of great things to see
and do and we don't need to chase the sunshine....

actually i could understand why they would want to
emmigrate, because they can, just for the change. why not move if you're
given the chance to. that's the only reason i'm moving there.

You really believe that Australia is such a utopia that none
of them want to leave??? Strange that, my wife is an Aussie and has 3
Aus friends living in the UK. None of them have any plans to go back to
Australia, except for a winter holiday.
Nothing like a starry eyed

Re: In praise of.....
firstly i am proud to be english !
secondly i will never forget my
roots !
thirdly i am not wrong or putting my country down the pan
just because england is not the right place at this time of my life to
be happy
all countries have there problems all over the world
also the
people too
so get of your high horse and learn more about peoples
choices
im sure if you ask people who are migrating from uk,
they are
not ashamed of there country and wouldnt spit about it!!
I do get angry
sometimes with the system in uk but once again
people are what make
the world go round,some are good some are bad,i just want to be happy
and fullfill all my options in my path.
I have great memories of
england and have acchieved great things here
ie ,having the skills to
migrate to australia!!!:)
I will always have british labelled on my
forhead,and also my children.
ps am really looking forward to a change
thou:D
we all have faults ,the same as places in the world today
:rolleyes:

Re: In praise of.....
Most people that live in Europe have holidays in Europe. Some go to
America
Most people that live in Australia have holidays in Australia.
Some go to Asia
What's the difference ? Similar sized areas ?
If you
want holidays in Europe, you can live there if you want to.
If you want
holidays in Australia, you can live there if you want to.
Personally I
have lived in Australia for many years in total, and have had holidays
in Europe and Asia.
Best of both worlds, and I live in a country that I
like.
I also do what I want to do, and not let some king kong influence
me :)
PS: my wife has tried the UK but much prefers Australia.

living in Aus and earring Aussie dollars, the rubber dollar does not buy
many, if any foreign holidays.
I usually cant be bothered to
get involved in these pathetic threads but you have got right on my
tits!!!
Are you a British Ex-pat living in Australia? Don't sound like
it
Do you plan on being a British Ex-Pat living in Australia? Dont
sound like it?
Do you know everyone who is migrating to Australia
personally and their reasons for going? I very much doubt it
Do you
know every Australian and the reasons for their holiday choices? Again I
very much doubt it
So why have you taken it upon yourself to get on
this forum and Personally insult people. Does it make you feel better by
trying to put a downer on other peoples plans
What makes your view on
matters any more correct than anyone elses? it's just your opinion as
many other people have their opinions.
