We must a joke in the eyes of the world.
What other country takes in overseas people from those who are legitimate to illegals, then panders to their beliefs by changing our customs, i.e. being an apologist for Christmas, Easter and so on?
What other country is so welfare-bound that it takes the taxation contributions of three average households to fund the welfare entitlements of one (household)?
And what other country so softly folds its hands and gives in to the trading demands of overseas partners?
We ARE a soft touch.

It is not the country it used to be.
