Australian far-right leader cancels move to UK (too many immigrants)
http://www.politics.co.uk/news/foreign-policy/australian-far-right-leader-cancels-move-to-uk-$21385594.htm

The far-right Australian politician Pauline Hanson has cancelled a planned move to the UK, citing the number of immigrants in the country.

The former leader of the One Nation party decided she would emigrate to the UK last year in a bid to escape criticism of her politics and personality in her home country, but has now concluded the UK is worse than Australia.

"France is becoming filled with Muslims and the French and English are losing their way of life because they're controlled by foreigners."

The One Nation party stood on a populist anti-immigration platform but its popularity has declined sharply since the turn of the century.

2. Sorry, Pauline, UK doesn't give extra points for being "free, white, and 21", anymore.
But, if you could make some other sort of contribution to Great Britain, they might have you.
