Aussie Anti-Immigration Politician Immigrates to Old Britannia

[Arwon]

You are the "tolerable" immigrants because you speak English and you have massive history with the British isles, obviously.

How magnanimous of you to allow it.

How is she being a hypocrite? She isn't Asian, so she isn't the type of immigrant she would be opposed to.

This thread got me thinking though, maybe I'll get a UK passport too - one of my parents was born in Northern Ireland. Dunno why I'd get one, it just might be useful to have.

Get it. When you're in one country, carry the passport of the other. If you get stopped by police, give them the foreign passport. For minor things they often won't want to bother with diplomatic stuffs.

Update on this story. Apparently the UK wasn't what she had imagined.

PAULINE HANSON has abandoned plans to move to Britain, after discovering it is not the racially pure utopia she was hoping for.

Returning a fortnight ago from an extended holiday in Europe, the former One Nation leader has told The Sun-Herald she is back in Australia for good and considering yet another return to politics.

''I love England but so many people want to leave there because it's overrun with immigrants and refugees,'' Ms Hanson said last week.

''France is becoming filled with Muslims and the French and English are losing their way of life because they're controlled by foreigners in the European Union.

''Problems are worse over there than they are in Australia and Australia is still the best place in the world to live but the same sorts of awful things are happening here too. Residents of Commonwealth countries who want to live here are discriminated against in favour of others.''

Ms Hanson, 56, spent 2½ months touring countries including England, the Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania and France.

In February, Ms Hanson told Woman's Day magazine that she was selling her home and property at Coleyville, south-west of Brisbane and moving to Britain, partly because she was disappointed by the way Australia had changed.

Ms Hanson told The Sun-Herald she wouldn't rule out a return to politics. ''I still haven't got politics out of my system. I get asked constantly, 'Are you going back into politics?' - even by people who recognised me overseas,'' she said.

It was ''difficult to say'' whether she would sell her Coleyville house, but she said she would move ''very soon, possibly interstate''.

Hilarious, but kinda annoying that we haven't seen the last of her.

She could go to America and join the Tea Party, perhaps.

Wait she's going to the UK because she doesn't like Asian immigrants?

I have some bad news for her....

That's the first thing that popped into my mind... and boy, I guarantee you she's probably going to like their Asians a lot less than Australia's.

 

[Arwon]

But those ones are at least generally into cricket!

 

[amadeus]

Another strike against them.

When is aw that this had been bumped I was going to ask 'who the blazes can bump a thread after months? Then the answer was clear…

Annoying for you. I plan on at least visiting the UK in a few years.

Who are themselves recent immigrants as the majority of them are third- or fourth- generation immigrants at best.

Australia needs the immigrants, anyway, seeing as how it's got a sub-replacement fertility rate.

 

[classical_hero]

Well people coming to countries should be following the customs of the hos nation. Imagine if we go to a Muslim country and lived like we do here?

It is an old conversation, but lets see where this will lead now.

Nah don't. Queensland suits you.

Are the stereotypes of Chinese in Australia different than they are in America? I'm just thinking about the perceptions of the Asian-American whiz kid and how it might be different if America was closer to Asia where Australia is more accessible to Asian migrants.
