    Australia race politician Pauline Hanson moving to UK




    Australian former anti-immigration politician Pauline Hanson is selling up and heading to Britain, according to an interview with an Australian magazine. She told Women's Day that Australia was no longer a land of opportunity and she had "had enough" of living there.
    Ms Hanson built a career on claims that Australia was being "swamped by Asians"

    and she's going to the UK, talk about out of the fire and into the frying pan!

    Some class of an idiot then so, that racist bitch... Good luck in England, love. I'm sure Nick Griffin will be waiting for her with open arms...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭MaybeLogic


    She'll be safe in London.
    It's swamped with Australian barmen.

    Ironic how, after years of anti-immigration views, she becomes an immigrant herself.

    Oh I think you'll find she considers herself completely different.

    Mostly because she's white.

    She's taking her own advice and going 'back where she belongs.' Back to Europe whiteys. :rolleyes:

    The Australian government; a weak hybrid of US puritan values and China's control issues.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    She's right about the number of immigrants in Australia tho. In the major cities you can't throw a stick without hitting an Aboriginal.













    (fortunately the stick comes back.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,430 ✭✭✭positron


    She would have been a perfect house mate in one of those Celebrity Big Brother - may be she's is Jade wannabe?

    Nah if she wanted that she could just take a walk thru Redfern in Sydney late at night spouting her nonsense.

    HeeeHeee I'd love to be there when she takes a walk around London or anywhere in England for that matter! Its silly but its making me smile! :D

    Aboriginals are immigrants? Someone hook a brother up with a facepalm.

    Well, we're all immigrants to some extent. I'm just wondering which of the cities he's referring to that has these Aboriginals. I think I've seen about 5 in 8 months.

    nobody will know who she is in England.

    Besides, shes planning on moving to the countryside, not the city, and living off her dodgy cash!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Aboriginals probably felt the country was being "swamped by whites" back in the day...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭brendansmith


    Tbh I kinda like her. Shes a no-nonsense b1tch.

    Shes the first person I thought of when I saw the new ANZ ads

    My thoughts exactly!

    She claims that Oz is running out of opportunities, of course that must be it!!! and nothing at all to do with that $250,000 she has "resting" in her account!

    Pauline Hanson set the course of Racial Politics back about twenty years, by giving the Liberals a target they could vilify, She was a bit thick and easily manipulated, but she Stood for what she believed in. and ya cant do that nowadays, she spoke her mind often without fully knowing it, and she Was Crucified for it, there was a relentless campaign against her with some of the most baseless lies ever printed about an individual, they imprisoned her on a charge that was Clearly Bollox at the time, and did their damndest to drive her out of Politics.

    She was a bit of an idiot, she was manipulated by the 2Daves, She didnt deserve all the flak she got, she raised the legitimate concerns of her voters regarding the Race issue, its jut that the mainstream parties here would rather bury their head in the sand and pretend that Theres not a Problem and when someone does raise a valid point its easier to attack them than to make the uncomfortable realisation that They have a point.

    Didn't know that much about her, but you make a good point. It's the same as with the BNP here. Most people know who they are and what they stand for. But there is far too much focus on the BNP themselves instead of looking at the why they are increasing their voter count at every election. Ignore them at your peril.

    So what is her point so?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,199 ✭✭✭G-Money


    It really is hard to beat a good Picard facepalm.

    I think I remember her when I lived in Australia. From what I remember, the Aussie's are even embarrased by her.

    I can see the irony of her headin ta england but don't see why she's badly regarded. Some people dislike cabbage, others dislike asians.

    She will have to change the video.

    she "dislikes" everyone who isn't white. She doesn't mind immigration, as long as it's white immigrants.

    She's a racist bully and I for one am glad she picked England instead of Ireland (where she could apply for citizenship also).

    Meh.
    A couple of people even thanked both posts, just in case. They get sarcasm and they're anti-racist.

    Well then you of all people should take someone referring to an aboriginal as an immigrant with a pinch of salt. The clue is in the name itself after all.

    Why would it matter to you where she goes or what she thinks.. People are entitled to their opinion even if it's racist. As a politician, she was representing a segment of the population.

    But Australia is in Asia; that's how they walked into the World Cup. They're all Asians. She's an Asian.

    The region is officially part of "Oceania". The Australian Football Federation decided to join the Asian Football Confederation (not because it would be easier to qualify for World Cups but) because they were tired of constantly having to work out whether they were at war with Eastasia or Eurasia.
