How do you know that they're popular with migrants to Australia. I'm a migrant to Australia - and so is my wife - and they're not popular with either of us. Are they popular with you?

Not any of the migrants that I know but then the ones I associate with have to have a brain and use it for their jobs.

The Daily Mail is, of course, popular with the racists, xenophobes and disaffected Tory migrants.

Higher levels of bullying so they learn to 'stand on their own two feet'? Huge classes so they've got a wider pool of friends to pick from? Scanners at the main entrance to make sure they're not carrying guns or knives? Not entirely sure I'd want any of the those improvements at my son's school.

Yea, but if I'd wanted my son to be fully educated in knife-craft I'd never have emigrated.

You could have gone to Melbourne or Sydney though.....he could learn to use a gun there.

Guns Seem to be more the 'weapon of choice' in Australia

Come to Melbourne and read the Herald Sun - it's like the Sun, and Mail combined.

But with no tits on page 3.

Well, no real ones. Lot's of other people masquerading as tits, but not breasts.
