If China invaded the US, would the UK let all 300 million people move to the UK and if so, would the islands sink?

Guess I'd better brush up on my Chinese then.... or perhaps Korean?

Oh and by the way, *I* didn't opt out of the Commonwealth. Some people who lived like a very long time ago did. I feel I should make my own choice and will be filing my asylum claim soon.

I'm not answering the original question because it's been asked and answered before and since the OP has no intention of moving back to the Uk, I fail to see any reason for his question other than to stir the pot.

Default Re: Why would you move back to the UK?

You are totally missing the point!!!!

Cant understand why people make the effort to move over here and expect the same as where they were????? Many move back because it is not the same as the UK (as many have posted on here)

Of course its not!!!!!! Its B****y Australia!!!!!!!

Certainly not educated adults.
