A think tank has found that half of British people want to move to Australia, according to the Mail.
People are so fed up with ‘broken Britain’ that nearly half of them want to emigrate to get a better life, new research claims today.
In a dismal ‘state of the nation’ report, nearly one in two Britons say they believe they would be better off swapping the U.K. for Australia or New Zealand.
And neither Rishi Sunak’s Tories or Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party seem to be inspiring them to stay.
The new report comes as Western Australia has launched an audacious bid to ‘steal’ 31,000 British doctors, police officers and teachers to work in the land Down Under.
The damning verdict is revealed in new polling by Right-of-centre think tank the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ).
It says that three in four people fear Britain is ‘broken’ while more than half cannot name a single Tory or Labour policy to tackle poverty.
Pessimism about the state of modern society was voiced by many, along with a collapse in confidence in the mainstream political parties to turn things round.
Asked whether they could have a better quality of life and earn more in Australia than the U.K., 45% of people agreed with only 14% disagreeing.
And 44% said that was true of New Zealand.
The widespread feeling that the country is in free fall is hardly news, though I’m not sure Australia would be my choice. I don’t cope well with the sun and don’t fancy a stint in a quarantine camp when the next virus lands. Post-Ardern New Zealand may be a better shout, but the country’s elites have a lot of trust to rebuild after their zero-Covid hysteria.
But coming back to this report, a large part of the problem appears to be a lack of confidence that our wildly out-of-touch political parties can fix anything:
The research published today suggests little confidence in either the Tories or Labour to make a difference.
Mr. Sunak and former PM Boris Johnson are both seen as badly out of touch with many ordinary people, with around four in five (84%) saying that the two politicians have little idea of what it is like to live in poverty today.
Of the minority of people who could name a relevant Tory policy, most people focused on the Government’s energy support package.
When asked about the Tories’ general approach to tackling poverty, people said it was either non-existent or in some way ”bad“, with the most popular choices including “poor”, “non-existent” or “useless”.
Sir Keir fared better than his Tory rivals on knowing what living in poverty was like but still fully 66% said the Labour leader had little idea.
The most commonly cited Labour policy was raising taxes.
And although the reaction was positive about the party’s approach to combatting poverty, most responses were still negative – with the most popular one-word summaries including “poor”, “rubbish”, “benefits” and “unrealistic”.
Unless they move the GB News studio to Australia, and Bill Gates succeeds in his plan to block out the sun, I will remain here to defend our island home.
But between the cost of living, strikes, a failing health service, out of control immigration, woke insanity, and Net Zero delusion, one can hardly blame people for seeking to escape.

Just put a stop to it now because it is nothing more than a pisstake. I have been to Hull and I knew a woman from Hartlepool and she was as good as gold but her life was nasty. Coldplay is the epitome of everything that is crap about neoliberalism. This is cruel and unusual punishment.
They closed down any hope of a p ositive future and now they have to live on Universal Credit, Housing Benefit and a bit of income on the side in a town where there isn’t much money sloshing about. This is sick to put your own people through this. With all the diminution of self-esteem and civic pride that it entails. Family life impossible even when it is strongly desired. You would never do that to your country if you loved it.
You consign whole towns and cities to live on benefits and then you import cheap labour and the criminal class because they will work for peanuts. Is it really that difficult to see this situation as treachery and treason. If it is then you are too far gone and you might as well just step aside.
They took your country over in 2020 please understand this. That was the pivotal moment for them. Nothing is coming back. They call it pushing the envelope. They pushed it and you did nothing. There will still be enclaves for white people but they aill get smaller and smaller.
Money worship only ends one way. Your children are screwed and your parents are screwed and next year will look very different from any year before. Once critical mass has been reached with immigraton you aren’t coming back. Just be respectful and try to cut down on the pork and booze because these things can cause problems.
I will not change what I eat or decide to eat for any man!
Can’t think of anything worse than having to listen to Coldplay.
No mention of the great Hull band from the 1980s, the Red Guitars? Good Technology and Marimba Jive are great songs.

Ex-Coldplay fan here. I loved all their stuff and they did some amazing tracks which will always evoke happy memories for me. However, it was a great shame when Chris and the band outed themselves as total nobtards regarding this whole climate lark. I wish bands would stay out of politics and agendas, full stop. It’s like when the Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky went on about who’d had what death jab at one of their concerts. Another band I used to like scratched off my list, although I’ll still listen to their old stuff. It just leaves you cold and turns you right off when artists you’d long respected go on like this. They should just stick to music and quit alienating large chunks of their fanbase.
Very true….Rammstein comes to mind.
I think it’s unrealistic and unhelpful to worry about the opinions and character of people who produce art. That said, I might decide not to give them any more of my money, and not to see them in concert so I didn’t have to listen to the preaching. But yes I listen to tons of stuff I already own by people I know have very different views to me.
I can’t think of a single Coldplay song though.
Don’t forget to add Springsteen to that list, another childhood hero revealed as a total banker….
Am.i alone in seeing the irony of socialists who formerly demonised Margaret Thatcher for the deindustrialisation of Britain now doing everything in their power to choke the life out of any manufacturing industry that may be left in the country?
What isn’t clear is whether they are too stupid to understand that you can’t have competitive manufacturing without cheap energy or whether they have simply started to openly and brazenly despise the British working class.
Maybe both.
It could be worse. Let’s hope the don’t do any Oasis covers such as: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”.
Very amusing in a grim sort of way, and I agree completely, but would question only the idea that the oceans are not polluted. Not so sure about the air – seems ok to me! But yes, the rest of what Coldplay are about is undistilled crap.
The oceans are not polluted.
Unless you mean by oil which gets thrust into it in enormous quantities whenever the sea bed shakes a bit.
“and a satellite stage at each of the London shows will be powered fully “by the audience via kinetic flooring and power bikes”
The levels of blind ideological fervour necessary to pay large amounts of money for the privilege of cycling furiously or jumping up and down relentlessly (both offering up particularly hilarious sights during any ballads!) whilst trying to enjoy a concert are quite staggering.
Anyway Coldplay should have gone the full turn-back-time hog (a la windmills being reintroduced for power creation) and chosen treadmill-based generators instead;
Thus even more graphically displaying the complete debasement and enslavement of humanity demanded by the Green religion.
Shirley, they should be performing in a field, powered only by wind and sun and perhaps Ed running furiously in a hamster wheel, lit only by candles made from earwax, and dressed only in wool dyed with locally sourced nettles (The Goodlife), now that little disaster would be worth seeing….

Forget heat pumps. All the climate virtue signallers can wear masks to capture all that hot air and that can then be pumped into a hot air national grid to be piped around to peoples houses. Much like our sewage, this hot air will have to go through a filtration system to remove all the words along with the harmful self righteous sentiment. The last thing anyone wants is the faint noise of haranguing coming from the radiators, or from under the floor!
