The migrants make no sense to me. They have come to our country because either theirs is tulip or ours offer greater freedoms and prosperity.
Why then do they want to make our country like the one they were in such a hurry to leave?
Or is there a more sinister reason?
There is unfortunately a widespread feeling that if our country is better off than their country, it must be because we stole their wealth; not because we did things that create wealth, whereas they did not.

Speak English Or Die
You come into this country
You can't get real jobs
Boats and boats and boats of you
Go home you ******' slobs
Selling hot dogs on the corner
Selling papers in the street
Pushing, pulling, digging, sweating
Where you come from must be beat
[CHORUS]
You always make us wait
You're the ones we hate
You can't communicate
Speak English Or Die
You don't know what I want
You don't know what I need
Why must I repeat myself
Can't you ******' read?
Nice ******' accents
Why can't you speak like me
What's that dot on you head,
Do you use it to see??
[CHORUS-MOSH PART-CHORUS]

Maybe this is the only country left in the world that George Bush doesn't have a problem with and therefore wont invade/bomb? Or are they infiltrating George's closest allie?

I am a Guardian reader, but I agree in principle with the above: there are far less restrictions on what you can say or do in this country than anywhere in the world, so its fair to say that those who with to live here should either take it or leave it.

The problem is, as history has shown, inaction now ensures drastic action later.

The excellent Trevor Phillips said the same thing some time ago and was ignored as usual.

Did Australia sign up to that's abomination known as Human Rights Act?
Thought not.
There's another subtle difference. Getting into Australia is very difficult, with barriers to migration. The UK has no barriers and pretty much anyone can arrive, ask for a NI number, sign on benefits.
The UK is fecked.

Australia - Guardian readers do not apply
I was sent this by an Australian colleague:
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.
Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by Parliament.
"If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," he said on national television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option," Costello said.
Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country.
Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off".
"Basically, people who don't want to be Australians, and they don't want to live by Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear off," he said.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
Britain ... ARE YOU LISTENING?
Quote: IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It or Leave It I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending theirs. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia.
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!
Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push but a fact because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. We will accept your beliefs and will not question why, all we ask is that you accept ours and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.
If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like " A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really on't care how you did things where you came from. By all means keep your culture but do not force it on others.
This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted YOU. Pretty easy really, when you think about it.
