where did you dig that definition from?

The Brits who have been travelling here to live after the establishment of George III's British Australia have been colonialists, while all the rest have been migrants to the British Colonial Empire.

That irritates the hell out of you, doesn't it, John?

There was nothing stopping your Italian Grandparents from settling in Italy's colonial possessions, was there ... except that the Brits did 'colonialism' a lot better than anyone else. Tongue

here, here.

and the fooking ungrateful buggers want to wreck the joint.

don't destroy what you came to enjoy,

what we should do herb is run a shuttle 747 service , just like at Dunkirk to rescue the true british stock from Britain , now that they have been invaded.
true poms to OZ and muslims and ghetto dwellers as back fill taken back to heathrow.
when the last true pom has been rescued and we have achieved ethnic cleansing , we scuttle the planes and detonate the british nuclear arsenal.

I was underqualified for the big Accounting firms, overqualified for accounts clerk type jobs ... in the end I used the Ass. Dip for toilet paper.

You weren't alone.

In those days, when taxi-drivers were Australians, half of them were uni graduates with good qualifications but no jobs available to them.

Well, that sounds pretty good on the surface, aqua, but I must admit I've lost all faith in the political judgment of the English public after the decades of them voting into government parties that have brought Britain to today's sorry-ass situation of being totally inundated by migrants of alien and incompatible culture, religion and colour to the degree that they are now a minority demographic in their own capital city of London.

Any people that smacking stupid should not be granted migration rights to Australia any more than should Muslims.

Sorry, but they made their bed and now they have to lie in it as Foreigners in their own Land.

I am always reminded of this when exchanging with the forum's bush lawyer....

* Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
* Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
* Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"
* Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."

Oh gee, that's a newie. Your starkly contradictory posts in this Thread, Andrei, remind me of this:

Q: How does an accountant sleep?
A: First he lies on one side, then he lies on the other.

Do people understand that economic refugees are still refugees and that refugees are people who legitimately need assistance ?

Um, no.

If they are brown, they're queue-jumping welfare cheats.

This is "general knowledge".

Yet factual statistics indicate around 80% end up welfare recipients.

And?

I don't see why we have to import people to be unemployed/unemployable here.

Do you?

"welfare recipient" doesn't necessarily mean unemployed.

You do realise that, don't you?

Thank you Five Fire Doors. Very useful.

I don't see why we have to import people to be "welfare recipients" here.

Do you?

No.

However, I don't see anyone advocating that proposal.

Do you?

Nice rant there Herb but you failed to answer the question

I'll try again, where did you dig out that definition of migrant?

I think Grendel's hilarious picture of the flexible man, holds the answer to that question.
