i just think the sooner my family get out of this country the better. Its ridiculous. Human rights has gone mad . The prison system is ludicrous! The immigration laws are a joke. Britain has lost almost all the values we used to stand for. Where i live british people are a minority/ stranger in our own country its unbelieveable that it has got to this point. The 'democracy' we live in is far to leanient. I am disgusted that we allow such things as the burkha here i believe that like france, Britain should ban it. So much money is being spent to enable life to be better for those who come here and claim our benefits, translators etc and running the NHS into the ground.... aibu to wonder WHAT ABOUT US BRITS????

Hey now, let us not judge too hastily. I for one actually agree with the OP. Specifically, I agree with her saying that "the sooner my family get out of this country the better".

I agree with this. You should definitely pack up your bigoted views and go and live elsewhere OP. Bye! Hope the Australians will have you! (doubt it...)

And my biscuit virginity has now been taken! Biscuit

lol Booy

Actually there was a news article a few years back \linknews.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4226949.stm\oooo found it}. Probably out of date now - but LOOK 6yrs ago British packbackers made up the biggest group of illegal immigrants working in Australia!!! Pot Kettle Black (or something like that Wink)

Do they have Tesco's in Australia because I am not eating any of that forrin muck?

Ormirian · 22/02/2011 22:02

ivykate44.

Good point well made. The OP will be lucky if she finds her new country as tolerant as we are here of newcomers. Sadly, the word on the street is that a lot of Australians are fucked off with being inundated by whingeing poms.

It's the whingers they don't like Smile

BooyFuckingHoo · 22/02/2011 22:06

WOW baroque that is very interesting.

my dad is very quick to spout rubbish similar to that of the OP. i am now very quick to remind him that he is currently funding his youngest child while she is being an immigrant in australia. it shuts him up pretty damn quick when i ask him how he'd feel if Dsis phoned him to say she couldn't get a job or anywhere to live because people were discriminating against her and telling her to go back where she came from.

mamaLou13 · 22/02/2011 22:07

FioFio i am refferring to feeling the minority in THIS country quite clearly i will be in another country ... that is common sence don't u think

What career will you have in Australia?

jonicomelately · 22/02/2011 22:10

Let's hope that one of the criteria for passage to OZ isn't a spelling test.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 22/02/2011 22:11

you think you're the minority in this country.....

So you're not white then? About 50 million "White British".........the rest are made up of "other white" and ethnic minorities....

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 22/02/2011 22:12

oh - no I get it - the OP isn't just xenophobic - she's racist too - she thinks you can't be British if you don't have white skin

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 22/02/2011 22:13

Booy - yes is an intersting read - even though I think they have in more recent years been "over taken" by another group. It's still relatively recent in social history.

I remember finding it during a similar thread, right here, on AIBU, a while back Grin

jonicomelately · 22/02/2011 22:13

Noooooooo Baroque. Let her go. Don't try to persuade her she isn't a minority. We can manage without her. Honestly we can.

smokinaces · 22/02/2011 22:15

I walked through my town on Sunday. I walked past Polish, Russian, African, Slovakian, Asian, Chinese and a lot more.

Instead of being repulsed, I felt proud that we have such a well mixed community. Our town is 80% White British, but the BME communities are well mixed and well presented so you get a real feeling of ethnic mix when in the town.

Yes I think it is better long term to teach English than pay for translators, and think extra money needs to be found for the NHS for the extra demand (insted of shutting hosptial departments like round here)

But if you take the time to befriend these "immigrants" you would realise that a vast percentage of them work hard, want to integrate and came here because their own countries had an awful way of life for their families. Would you do the same?

YABU. and very Uneducated. Open your eyes once in a while

slightlymad72 · 22/02/2011 22:16

I was born a Britsh Citizen but my ancestory isn't british, how many generations of 'British Blood' should there be before anyone can count themselves as a TRUE BRIT. And what documentation do I require in order to prove I am a british citizen as obviously just holding a british passport isn't enough.

I am sorry to say though I am the grandaughter of an Illegal Immigrant, so maybe I should pack my bag and fuck off to where I belong.

smokinaces · 22/02/2011 22:17

and round here the majority of children from workless households are of white british heritage.

but fuck it, lets call the immigrants scum and keep waving that union jack hey.

I really hope your plan works out OP. I suspect there might be quite a few forms to fill in to get visas for Oz though, so if you want one of us to check your spelling for you do let us know. I would be happy to help bigots like you leave the country

MissyKLo · 22/02/2011 22:24

You moan about immigration but are going to emigrate?! Oh the irony!

MissyKLo · 22/02/2011 22:31

It's not often I think an OP is uneducated and ignorant, I may no agree with some posters but at least they are not talking complete and utter rubbish. Who are these Brits she talks about? Who is truly British and what does that mean? She moans about immigration but wants ro become an immigrant in a country full of immigrants! The OP writes a load of garbage

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 22/02/2011 22:32

oi oi smokinaces - no dissing the workless households please (although my children aren't of white british heritage they're White British/Black African) Wink
