Crayfish issue not as bad as Canada.

Yes. Absolutely. What you said.

There is no debate here when people argue from false premises

Ex-pats - grrr....

Friday, 19 June 2009 18:08

I have a loathing for the 'ex-pats' who post comments on the Mail. Living in another country is fine & dandy, but why on Earth do they feel the need to rant every bloody day about how rubbish the UK is? It might even be acceptable if their adopted countries didn't have the same problems as the UK (or worse) but they seem to have such dissonance they don't notice. Today I was reading about gap years and someone posted how they feel much safer abroad in their new home of Seoul than in the UK. Seoul is undoubtedly very nice, but it has the ever-present threat of nuclear war which is a tad more scary than chavs at the train station. Then there's the ex-pats who moan about crime (while living in such crime-free meccas as Mexico or South Africa), wheely bins (when most countries have them) and of course how global warming is all a fake and no one takes it seriously (from Australia where the government is in a total panic over climate change). Why do people live elsewhere and learn nothing at all about their new home? Are they deluded or idiots or professional Internet trolls?
