    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 "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.

    Yes .... no wait, I mean no .... oh wait again, I mean whatever will stop you asking the same dull question again & again in some feeble effort to appear superior.

    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.

    Meh it would be more ironic if she and 1 million racist white Australians moved to Laos or something.

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

    If an aboriginal elder did say that then he was prescient.

    Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Entitlement to opinions also comes with other people being entitled to criticise them.

    Freedom of speech works both ways.

    Ha ha ha ha, almost on cue.....

    THE leader of the British National Party says Pauline Hanson will be welcomed should she decide to play a political role upon moving to the UK.

    BNP leader Nick Griffin also said he felt sorry for Ms Hanson because she had been "forced out of her country by this politically correct intimidation and bullying''.
    "She would not be a sponger,'' he told Fairfax.
    "We would regard her as a good addition.''
    The One Nation founder has put her million dollar property up for sale in Coleyville, southwest of Brisbane, and has announced she's moving to Britain.
    Mr Griffin said the BNP's leaders had long observed Ms Hanson's career and "persecution'' by Australian mainstream parties.
    He offered a bit of advice about where Ms Hanson should live, warning she should stay away from central London because it had become overrun with "spongers''.
    He said more than 100,000 "indigenous'' Londoners had fled the capital every year over the past two decades after being driven out by immigration.
    "It has been a relentless flow because they can't stand living there and feeling like foreigners in their own city,'' he said.
    Ms Hanson's hardline views on race sparked a national debate over immigration policy and Aboriginal disadvantage from the time she entered federal parliament in 1996.
    In her maiden speech, she said "we are in danger of being swamped by Asians'' and questioned multiculturalism.

    I guess there are good immigrants and bad immigrants.

    :eek:

    No they weren't! Watch the film! Most of the characters in that picture hated the character of Combo when he started turning the ska and skinhead scene into a white nationalist thing which caused divisions as it's roots are in Mod and Soul cultures, in which both black and white kids participated in...

    OT, that's a laugh and a half. Does she think she's an indigenous Australian? She didn't lick her whiteness off the ground :rolleyes:

    EDIT: Ok so some of the characters in that picture did support the white supremacy thing at some stage in the film but not Woody, and the little kid renounces it in the end.

    Sorry that sounded harsh! I thought I'd never be happy again after I watched This Is England, cried my eyes out :( Also I'm a ska fan but don't like to be associated with white supremacy!
