  1. Trump is not crass or obnoxious. He is realistic and down here in the Pacific things have got a whole lot safer.

  2. It's not just Britain. Australia has higher immigration per capita. I had to leave the regional city I'd always lived in when it became too unsafe to shop for food unless the shopping centre employed armed police. Britain actually has a better chance of turning this than we do, at least in cities.

  3. I went from a Labor voter to a far right voter without changing my opinions

  4. At best a gatekeeper

  5. I'm Australian where it is even worse per capita. The only peaceful solution I see is for us to balkenise into separate regions. But Britain is too small to do that, perhaps we are too. So sadly I'm inclined to agree with you. Out of curiosity do you still see a democratic solution?

  6. Same in Australia and the conservatives are only slightly better.

  7. That became obvious about Labor and Palestine protests. We are actually on a per capita basis worse than Britain. I say keep the churches and pubs full. Don't leave space to make them comfortable.

  8. I remember it too. The media had said the millennial bug would end modern civilization. I remember filling the bath with drinking water and stocking the pantry with canned food before going out to party like it's 1999. It was a sign of optimism that the world didn't end at midnight.

  10. Australia has not been made wealthy through immigration. And most are not skilled workers. The other day I was speaking to a man from India who was brought out to wash cars for $5 and I know many women from the Philippines brought out to gut fish.

  11. In Australia many parents choose private RC schools regardless of whether they are religious.

  12. In Australia I did not see anyone who was not of European or Aboriginal descent until 1986, and throughout the seventies and eighties my schools were 100% Christian

  13. You were so lucky at 45. Most women I know are menopausal by that age, I'm happy for you. I had my children young, 18-25, I didn't think much about university or careers until after then. I advised my daughters to do the same.

  14. I was a child then. Certainly no helicopter parenting in the subtropics. Half the time the adults were slowly getting drunk and didn't care where we were or what we were doing. Merry Christmas from Oz

  16. Can't be Australia unless you're very rural.

  17. @megansummersides4255 Yes I'm in Australia and farm workers from Papua New Guinea are always polite, others, well I moved when it became unsafe to shop for food in daylight unless the shopping centre employed armed police.

  18. Perhaps it's a shame you broke up? And by working hard to support your children you are teaching them to be responsible parents. Does the ex have a relationship as a father, or is he completely out of the picture.

  25. I'm Gen X and I know how the boomers struggled. However. They did create the world we have. It was the boomers who wanted the sexual revolution and easy divorce and other policies to destroy families and reduce birthrates. My country and yours has not had replacement birth rates since the 1970s when you would have been young and I was younger. Today Britain has a birthrate of 1.4. This means every young person will need to pay enough tax to support three boomers. What the boomers Are responsible for is creating a society people don't want to breed in.

  26. Australia is actually worse per capita. I see increasing balkenisation, which will probably only increase. If you look at global demographics, the world will run out of immigrants in ten or fifteen years. The only peaceful solution I see is separating into self governing regions.

  32. I'm not British but I agree. Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses stopping the people rebelling. But he was wrong, it's belief in democracy keeping them docile

  39. Well said. I would add two things. In Australia and New Zealand, adult men and women got the vote at the same time, without any feminist "fight." I would argue women in Britain got the vote inspite of the suffragettes not because of. Before the 1960s Marxists were concerned the people would not overthrow the means of production. In 1950 in Britain a book was published on the subject. It lamented that working people were too comfortable. It concluded that it wouldn't happen whilst people had access to affordable electricity, which was a source of their comfort. It said there needed to be a global reason to deprive people of affordable electricity. Climate change?
