Words of wisdom there!

Bury St Edmunds population: 35,000
Sunshine Coast population: 265,000

Yes but the sunshine coast is a huge area - it covers a wide amount of places, all spread out with big space imbetween.
Bury St Edmunds may itself have a lower population but very close by are lots of people.
Still think its hard to compare

Mate read my posts on the london car bombs. i agree with you 100%

You seem a bit confused Kevin. I assure you that the immigrants coming from Poland and other EU countries are not 'dole bludging lazy koran carrying bastards'. They are in fact hard working, committed Catholics on the whole with strong family and community values. Maybe some of the more racist/prejudiced amongst us could learn a thing or two from their determination to make a better life for themselves and their kids and parents in a foreign country (yes many support older family members too).
I say this because is isn't their fault they were invaded at the start of WWII and many of us have family members who died for the cause so that you and I aren't sitting here speaking German today (or worse).
There are a number of streams of immigrants coming to the UK at the moment, as ever, so maybe it is best to point your comments in the direction of those you are really referring to (it seems to be Muslims you object to). I'm totally all for free speech but please don't tar all immigrants with the same brush, because that is really very closed minded and unappreciative of the different situations that cause people to migrate.
Sorry, I know I'll probably get abuse back now, but I really feel that your comments are a bit misguided. Not all immigrants are 'out for a free ride'.

We have crime here. Some of it terrible. We have peedys, rapists, murderers.
We have a huge drug problem here, and I mean huge. I have 3 trainees working for me. They've all been heavily into ice, E's, dope. One of them has had huge problems but has managed to keep his shit together. Most of their friends are f**ked up on drugs and cannot hold down jobs, study etc. Same problems as UK.
Our public health system is under strain. Just like the UK, but it works. Again, just like the UK.
WE have MRSA here. They test for it when you go in to hospital. No different.
We have racial problems. Race riots in Sydney etc. Sure, we have less problems with radical Mussies but then there are a lot less of the scum here.

All the problems you find in the UK you find here. Some better, some worse.
UK is not in decline (people were saying the same thing in 1901), neither is Australia.

The best advice I can give about emigrating is come for the pull of Australia, what this country has to offer rather than feel that you are being pushed out of the UK. If you feel this way then the issue is not with the country but rather is in your own head.

You seem a bit confused Kevin.

This tends to cover a large area where as if they did it by the square mile or K, as the case may be,you would get a truer picture of the area arund your house. There tend to be dodgy areas everywhere.

Well said

It's not even a case of same shit different bucket.

It... depends.

I thought half-wits like you were lying low but every now and again theres one idiot who raises his head above the parapet to see if all is ok for this type of bigoted, uneducated, racism. Muslims and Poles are in the firing line for the card carrying members of the BNP with their English jingoistic, rule Brittania nonsense. Before them it was "the Pakis" irrespective if they came from Pakistan or not. (Many came from India and Bangladesh). The UK is a nation of mongrels and always has been because it is a land of opportunity for poorer nations and in general have lived in harmony. Statements like this dont help anybody. They are wide of the mark, generalistic and dangerous.
So before you start firing about your pea-shooter form of racism, could you be more specific as to what direction you would like it to land.

Would have to agree that even before increase in new immigration we had plenty of home grown criminals who would steal your car or trash your house etc..

Tell that to the communities ruined by the influx of different ethnic groups that often fight among themselves thinking they are still in their country of origin. Take a small town in the UK (Thetford) - there is an estate there that has groups of immigrants from opposing factions (maybe Croats, I'm not sure), before we came out here there was a massive street brawl involving these groups as well as innocent bystanders. The area is so dangerous that the blokes collecting the dustbins had to have a police escort every time they went, this still may be the case
As to me bagging the muslims - have you ever lived in central London? they have taking over and every 2nd person seems to be muslim.

I think you are the confused one, there's a difference between being racist (against other races) and being proud of your country. If you like being over run by eastern europeans / muslims then good luck to you. I didn't so I moved to Australia where those problems aren't so widespread.

I have no problem with immigrants if they integrate into society (like we have done here), I do have a problem when they don't for example some schools in London having Punjabi as the 1st language and only 10% of students being english

Do you really like this?

What crap you talk - you obviously love to see your local area over run by foreign speaking immigrants ruining the economy and making it impossible for local people to find work because they will work for peanuts

Why are you living in Queensland, maybe you should bugger off and live in Sydney where there are plenty of problems caused by muslims, lebs etc

Have you lived in both places?
