Re: Why British wants to go Australia?
The UK used to be a great country but is in terminal decline, the sensible people are getting the hell out whenever they get the chance. Living standards are very low unless you are extremely rich and the government has let in far too many people from other countries whose values are opposed to those of the native population.
As for the last comments about migrating to another country because to many migrants have moved to yours is complete hypocrisy, also try asking the
native Australians about wether european values are opposed to theirs.

I do wonder if those of us who are planning to move to Australia with certain aims and/or expectations are in for a bit of a shock. For example reduced exposure to crime, better standard of living, etc

I don't live anywhere near the Outer Hebrides!In future for those people who like to UK bash,can you please be more specific when you say "The UK is a shithole"?Like "Where I live in South Wales (village,suburb whatever)is a shithol",don't tarnish the whole of the UK as a shithole,most of it is gorgeous.

Re: Why British wants to go Australia?
well you all will be in for a shock! , as when i lived in WA the local police station was fire bombed then a few days later another one was bombed and the Aussies had the cheek to say we were fools to go back to the uk because of the violence!
People who are emigrating are blinkered in their views and think that this country is the worse for violence,but you really have to live somewhere to really see places for what they are.I was told by small minded Northerners ,and i am a Northerner myself, that i would be shot or mugged coming back to UK.They choose to put me living in same place as were they come from without even knowing were i lived.

As in the UK,it depends an awful lot where you live!I've recently returned from Adelaide (spent years living there)and I took my OH to some really awful places,just to prove that yes there are horrible places in and around Adelaide.Having said that I also took him to alot of really nice places as well.I think I have quite a good balanced view of Oz,unlike some people who think the whole of the UK is a shithole!Keep your expectations realistic and you can't go wrong!

I suppose it all depends on where you go from to where you end up. As in all countries there are some good and some bad areas. Life is certainly different for us over here – not all necessarily for the better but most of the changes have been good (except I can't get a blasted job). We had the opportunity to move to Aus because of OHs job – thought we’d give it a whirl rather than have a lifetime of thinking ‘what if’. Saw it as a chance for a different way of life not necessarily a better way of life but one as equally as good at least. Would we have made the move if it had been to elsewhere in the UK – depends on where the elsewhere would have been but if the package was right probably yes. I couldn’t have moved to a none English speaking country though – I have enough difficulty here with my mixed brummie / Derbyshire accent. Saying that I had enough problems with my accent in England so should be used to it!

You mean be more specific in the same way you just have about South Wales then?

I was referring to Paulie H's comments about a shithole!This poster is from South Wales,so I am assuming they mean South Wales is a shithole.Thats why I asked if people can be more specific!I've never been to Wales,but from what I have seen on TV,most of it looks stunning!
