    Looks like there are 5 million Brits living abroad (approx 1 in 10), which is less than half the number of Overseas Filipino (1 in 8), There are 4 million OFW in the USA alone.

    which kind of calls into question the whole article doesn't it?

    In the 1950's entrepreneurs from the UK and the rest of Europe were welcomed with open arms in places like Adelaide.

    Up until 1974 Australia was still paying people to move there from the UK.

    I think you might have missed the boat.

    Actually, Google is only aware of 31 references to "failed state" by sappatz. Given he (she?) has started about 100 threads in this style there must be two other expressions in that dictionary.

    However, there is little doubt about those expressions might be:

    No wonder most of the suicide bombers are paki.
    (Is one allowed to say such things in this failed state any more?)

    But yes, sappatz has been spreading doom, gloom and despondency for nearly four years now:

    However, it is disappointing that with four years of ranting, the CUK community has not mass-ignored sappatz or converted him (her?) to more liberal views.

    nobody would welcome djihadists thugs in his own house. the arrogancy of the british muslim council goes also overboard.
    they are no more welcome. it should be clear to everyone
    Hmm. I spot another agenda:

    arabs or pakis it does not matter, they are mostly here for djihad and other hostile acts : they dont belong here.
    not all muslims are hostile to the west however, kurds for example
    Arabs, on the other side... (there are even some christian arabs to defend the hezbollah...)
    Or maybe not:

    I think this may give a clue as to who the sockpuppet is owned by (and I've got a damned good idea):

    Would a simple 'ignore' suffice? Or should it be removed?

    I know people who have either left or are in the process of leaving. And it is not too early for the tax rises to make people leave - it has been pretty obvious taxes would go up and who Brown would target for months.

    Anyway, people with a bit of intelligence know that labour don't understand economics, and that every labour government eventually runs out of money...so a bunch of people have probably had conigency plans to escape one the payback started.

    Much like the last time, in fact.

    More British live abroad than any other nationality and the levels of emigration are now the same as those seen in the late-1950s when the £10 Poms left for Australia.

    An increase in tax levelled at high wage earners coupled with rising UK unemployment is thought to be partly behind the mass exodus.
