Well its about when you get your visa bill in the mail and you go Holy Crap did I spend that much. You apply for a waiver to have the bill reduced and more time to pay it without incurring interest.

Yeah, well the next time the Australians do that, they're probably going to have to find a different country to palm the asylum seekers off on!

Wouldn't be a bad idea if the UK resettled all the Aussies living in the UK back to Australia. They're stealing thousands of pub jobs that Brits should be entitled to

Well I was out there with my placard at the London march on Saturday, there were tens of thousands of people there, and no one was wailing or weeping. In fact it was a joyful and positive event. Lots of children, some pretty funny home made signs, lots of dogs accompanying and enjoying! Mind you, good weather helped.
