Re: Is it a good time to move back to the UK?
I would love a pound for every time I've heard "this country has gone to the dogs" since the 70's, I would be a multi millionaire by now. So because you hate the place, we all do right? Wrong! I have a large family and they all love it, even my Spanish sister in law chooses to live in England. Oh, and I do hope for your sake you aren't thinking of coming to Oz, 'cos you aren't going to like paying the taxes, we have illegal immigrants and the crime rate all over Oz is rising.
Excellent post, totally agree on all accounts.

Im sorry you have a large family....i know it can be hard to fight obesity
So you love it here so much you moved to OZ? maybe you need to come home and see for yourself, paying taxes is not a problem if it is spent the right way, do people go to hospitals in Australia and come out with super bugs? do your MP's get tax payers money to buy Sky T.V and new Kitchens? do child perverts get moved 100 yards from a school to live? do they tax petrol at 75% then charge you road tax on top? do you pay Polish familys living in Poland child welfare? Do you have a Prime Minister who sends a letter of condolence to a FOOTBALLER for missing a penalty rather than one to the familes who have loss their teenager to Knife crime or gun crime, or even the brave solders who have lost their life because of a Goverment mix up
to be honest i could go on and on........

You hate the UK. Many, including me, do not.
The issues that make you want to emigrate are your own and not your country's fault.
You want to emigrate. That's all that matters. Everything else is immaterial.
Come for what Australia has to offer. End of.

I agree with this. If a person moves from the UK with thoughts of Australia as being without problems, they are going to be disappointed. Don't leave because you hate a whole place, it can only lead to disappointment when you arrive somewhere else.
Its not better here, it is just different.

Superbugs yep.
Perverts near schools, erm do you not read the aussie news, 40 just arrested, child porn ring, not near schools, IN schools, teachers, Head teacher, Doctor, previous cases have included a judge and police.
MP's not usually bothered about kitchen renos, too busy shagging land developers.
Petrol tax + rego on top.
Plenty getting welfare they are not entitled to, read BE
Drunken pissed up drugged up football players here are called heroes.
Sorry your PM's sport obsessed, that is one real reason to move to australia You wouldnt get that here

I'd say the answer is yes to most of the above.
MRSA is a worldwide problem - it's a bacteria. It doesn't just live in the U.K.
Politicians are the same the world over - in fact, believe it or not, some countries have politicians that are even MORE corrupt than the U.K
There may not be Polish families livivng in Australia but there will be some kind of equivalent group that are blamed for the countries ills.
We are hearing a lot of about knife and gun crime in this country and I agree it is a worry in certain areas although it's not a major problem in my area. Don't know about the situation in Australia.

Yes to most of the above. All the councillors where I worked were 'stood down', on full pay of course, because of major corruption and abuse of tax payers money, I and many others lost our jobs because of them. As for child perverts, Oz has more than it's fair share I can assure you.
Superbugs yep.
Perverts near schools, erm do you not read the aussie news, 40 just arrested, child porn ring, not near schools, IN schools, teachers, Head teacher, Doctor, previous cases have included a judge and police. It's risen to 94 now and one is a Federal cop.
MP's not usually bothered about kitchen renos, too busy shagging land developers. and illegally trading
Petrol tax + rego on top.
Plenty getting welfare they are not entitled to, read BE

Don't give up your day job 'cos you're not funny. You no nothing of my situation or why I am living in Oz do you? Yes to most of the above.

My Mrs wants to move back to the UK, has done since we've been here - 5 years now.
With the exchange rate at almost 2:1 and house prices falling in the UK, possibly going to crash you can get a lot of house for your money.
I like the thought of a big house in the country BUT what if there's going to be a huge recession? I don't fancy being on the dole.
Your thoughts....
