Same reasons as everyone else I suppose, even though they have it good, they think/imagine life can be even better. As I said in my post, you look for reasons to escape the UK. You imagine a beach and BBQ laid back lifestyle here and think "mmm, even better".
What you dont count on is the jealousy and resentment by 'some' kiwis (yes there are some very nice ones too) who are hell bent on making you lose your mortgage free home, because they cannot afford one!
I wished I could say that we are in the minority in the things we have experienced, but unfortunately we are not.
If I could turn the clock back, I would without any shadow of doubt, I would never have come to NZ.
Unfortunately we have been trapped here until now.
Eldest turns 18 next year and is off to uni so we can now leave NZ...aaahhh

Get your facts right -Abu Hamza that has been in prison since 2004 for, amongst other things, " using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of stirring up racial hatred" - I think you'll find he wasn't allowed to incite violence and was imprisoned accordingly.

Also I find it a bit rich that someone thinks free speech is a bad thing and one of the reasons to leave the UK, and then immediately uses it to call me an asshole!

You are right jueinnz.... I read on here why some people want to get away from the UK and I just sit here and think..... "youll find out what its like when you get here.... its not utopia-perfect-land". Its like some people dont think that violence or anything nasty can possibly happen in NZ. Well, it does, I see things on the news every day here that disgust and sicken me.... same things that happen in the UK but just not so many as the population is so much smaller.

We like it here but be realistic some of you. Please dont expect it to be perfect here because youll be in for a shock.

No-one has ever keyed my M3. Of course, there's a certain person on this forum that would undoubtedly try if he knew where it was...

(yes, I'm going for a second troll point.. what do you think the chances are?)
