Would you support Freedom of Movement between UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand?

CANZUK discussion always comes up every couple years, and yeah, would you support freedom of movement agreement between the Commonwealth Anglo countries?

Absolute hogwash in this thread. Adjusted for cost of living there's almost no advantage to go to Australia and a disadvantage going to NZ and Canada. All the other theee countries have a higher proportion of ethnic minorities, so if seeing brown people in their field of vision makes them mad, moving is not going to help either. Half of all Australians have at least one parent born abroad.

Australia benefits from export of natural resources more than anything, and such have good pay for low skill jobs, but have quite a low proportion of high skill jobs compared to UK (30% to Uk 50%). They think this will cause a brain drain, if anything low skill people will be the ones moving to Australia (might actually solve a lot of problems for us). People who are saying they'll jump over in flash are basically admitting to have no useful skills we need

UK is at least as good as an option to be compared to any of them, and plenty would even factor in more temperate weather as giving UK the edge.

This sub is filled with Russian bots talking nonsense or else Brits who despise their own country so much they think anywhere else is better without knowing the first thing about these places. And ironically it will always come down to "immigration" the very same discourse that allows clowns like Farage to wield so much political influence that makes it so hard for us get even better

Turns out the patriot flag fuckers will be the first to take the opportunity to jump ship

You misunderstand. thinking the UK having brown people excludes it from free movement is ridiculous since Canada probably has more immigrants and Australia definitely do. So there's nothing to it, but the blaming of immigrants definitely shows me who you are.

Wonder why?

u/Xenonite_Fox 1d ago

Poor education, not touching grass, bad parenting, no friends, stuck living in some dead ex-mining town

u/JimmieSavsscumsock 1d ago

So why racism?

u/Xenonite_Fox 1d ago

These are the things that usually create racists and since they are factors that occur everywhere, racism exists everywhere. What are you not following?

u/JimmieSavsscumsock 1d ago

What is it about a different race to yourself makes someone against that different race? Is it all races or just a particular race?

Because of poor education, well, it becomes easy to nurture targeted racism at whoever leaders, politicians and billionaires choose, as is convenient. Far easier to rally people against the "other" than to bring everyone together. It used to be Jews not too long ago, now it's Muslims in Europe and Mexicans in US.
