Oh dear,

Next week the aussies will organise a rally at Mullaloo to claim back the beach from the poms. Things will get out of hand and a few poms will be bashed. Later in the evening car loads of brits will drive up from Rockingham and trash Mullaloo, Hilaries and Sorrento. Police will arrest lots of aussies but let the brits off for fear of inflamming racial tension, which will infact have the opposite effect.

Absolutely disgusting. These ******** should be deported to the UK, where they belong. :mad:

We don't have an equivalent of Britain's football yob culture, and that's how it should stay.

It does not matter wheo commits crime. It is all wrong & should be punished accordingly. Surprisingly, most of the crime committed in Australia, is committed by Australians.

I think thats the impression that many people get, look at the ads in the run up to the ashes, like the one on the bus, the barmy army were (IMO) portrayed as being england shirt wearing yobs, which makes me think that is the opinion that many people have of English people.

imo anyone wearing an england shirt overseas is making a very strong statement about their national identity in a country in which they are a guest. The boundary between "very strong" and "aggressive" is thin at best. This is fine for football matches etc where clan identity is relevant but I m amazed when I see people walking around Coles etc. I find myself thinking, "if you love your country that much what are you doing here?". God knows what the Aussies think.

Ok, all England supporters to be deported back to England, all Australian supporters deported back to Australia, all Brazilian supporters back to Brazil and so on, and so on, and so on..........
FFS, it isn't the shirt that makes the yobbo, it's the moron that wears it.
What next, ban all supporter apparel? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Another reason why the northern suburbs are shite & another reason not to move there.:)

Assuming this article is correct, why do poms move out here congregate in one area and then stick together so much. People spend so much time moaning about crap Uk, right if thats their opinion move but why then come out here and create little england areas.

It is beginning to happen here too, one school here had over 100 famililes enrol in one school year, most were english. I have read on this forum, polish immigrants surge to certan areas and stretch resources, well then its only fair to say its happening in OZ too.

Incredible more and more surge to the same old bits when the much touted phrases on here are how much space australia has and how great australians are.

On our recce this year we were having a nice family picnic at Mindarie Keys with some very decent ex-pats. Lovely spot, lovely weather, lovely company.

Until .... a bunch of yobbos - adults and children - turned up, about 50 yards from us. They had music blaring, and their kids were throwing stones at a metal sign in the shallow water, making a loud noise. They did this for ages and not one of the adults stopped them. In fact one even joined in. ( and no, we didn't go over and politely ask them to turn the music down or ask them to ask their kids to stop throwing stones as I think their replies would have been exactly as we expected them to be; probably something along the lines of "What's your f***ing problem ? F**k off or you'll get a slap."

Of course, they were Brits. All the males had footie shirts on.

Not saying all Brits, or all wearers of footie shirts are yobs, of course, but we found them to be yobbish and selfish. I'm sure all the Aussies there thought the same as well.

I know it's wrong, but a lot of people DO form generalised opinions of 'groups', whether it be races, nationalities, religions, etc. We did when we saw them arrive near us - and we were right.
