But it isn't just the colour is it. 'Poms' are discriminated against all the time, even in the media?

This thread seems to have lost it's way

so, am I to conclude that the best way to solve the immigration problems in the uk is to become one yourself in oz

Aye, the constant persecution is dragging me down, I have to sit at the back of the bus and everything ...

Just waiting for a Martin Luther King to rise-up and free me from these shackles ... oh Lordy, nobody knows the troubles ...

I woke up this morning and my beer was cold, my woman hadn't done left me and my dawgie's still here too.

O.K at least you have the decency to blame the government and not the immigrants trying to give their kids a better life BUT at the end of the day emigrating to escape immigrants and the problems sometimes associated with large scale immigration is simply contradictory. Where are you proposing to emigrate to escape these issues?

I am Australian. My husband and I moved back to Australia 4 years ago. Even back then the house prices were ridiculous and on the rise. I am a teacher (Australian trained). It took me a year to even get a day's supply teaching. After three years of underemployment and unemployment(the only permanent positions my husband and I could get were either in outback towns or in a place where only one of us could find work) we decided to move back to the UK. We had arrived in Australia with enough money from the sale of our house in the UK to put a deposit on a house in Australia and eventually left with nothing. Everything we had, we had to use to pay the ridiculously high rents in both the cities and outback town we lived in while in Australia.

Home is where your heart is and for some the UK is as good a place as any other. My advice would be try to not get into unmanageable debt and try to get to know exactly who your kids are hanging with.

Hi lissaloo ,i will say this you are entitled to your opinion and i accept it ,unfortunately the opinion you have seems to be quiet the norm in some parts of britain .
My parents are like it and my in-laws are all like it ,i often wonder what has happened to britain to have its inhabitants be so negative ,it could be just a mixture of muslim extremism and rapid migration from the eastern block countrys.
I dont think doing the runner and being a migrant yourself can be the answer as you may come across some of the prejudices that migrants get when they go to the uk .
I go back to the uk everyyear and admitedly i dont do much work there but certainly after 20 years in aussie its a breath of fresh air ,i will have to think long and hard on wether i return even though britain is one of the most beautiful countries in the world it would drive me insane listening to people who will tell me its much better in aussie but have been no further than the isle of wight .
Good luck for the future .
P.s it may well be the case after a few years you will be begging to live in places like sparkhill,sparkbrook,handsworth ,balsall heath .Believe me they are more vibrant than anything here in aussie .
