I was unfortunate enough to work in Slough for a few months before heading over here. As Mrs said, "the 'ethnic goods' isle in tesco is where you find the English food".

Yes, the UK has taken far to many migrants, PC or not that's my opinion and I wouldn't want Australia to do the same (including English ones).

I get the irony I'm saying I'm happy enough with the current level but wouldn't want Aus to open the floodgates as the UK did

As an example in Slough Mrs was taken ill when we were there, none of the local doctors would see her for about 2 weeks as they were overwhelmed with new arrivals, which seemed ironic too, given the fact we'd both been paying NI for most of our lives, BTW we have private health cover here.

I think there are too many immigrants in the UK who have no intention of integrating into British life and impose their own culture on Britain.

I also think there are too many immigrants in Australia who have no intention of integrating into Australian life and impose their own culture on Australia.

Australia is vast with relatively few people. The UK isn't. Anybody who thinks that the number of migrants the UK has absorbed in the last decade has been good for the country is potty.
Indeed, but the refusal of many migrants into the UK to assimilate and integrate is more of a worry. Also worrying is that they have been encouraged not to do so by government/council/PC wanker policies. Years ago I never would have believed that there would be UK-born islamic suicide bombers, but there you go.

If 1 million Brits weren't leaving the UK perminently every year then 1 million migrants wouldn't be needed to replace them.

And yes many Brits migrate to Australia or Canada becoz engerland has too many immigrants brah.

When I left Australia and returned to the UK, the area where I grew up (in Melbourne) was virtually 100% anglo. On returning seven years later it is now a case of spot the Aussie.

My next question is, are Brits who migrated to Oz inherently racist and not showing it?

Given that your contribution to the thread was zero, my question is "why should we give a **** about answering your questions?"

Try giving an opinion yourself.
