I
have just returned from the UK, where I spent my
childhood, and I have again witnessed what happens
when bad politics are allowed to ruin a once proud
nation. Huge numbers of Britain’s there now acidly
refer to their homeland as ‘Broken Britain’, and for
good reason as it offers stark evidence in what happens
when governments continually take from those who
create wealth, and hand it to those who do not.
Social conditions in Britain have become so tainted that
almost every night on TV you can watch sickly entertaining
program’s showing people rorting the system, ripping
each other off, living in squalor, street fighting, driving
dangerously, drug dealing etc etc, in fact one regular
program I watched did nothing more than show an entire
family tattooing each other whilst explaining how much
in state benefits they had managed to legally extort from
their government. The ‘wife’ was the ripe old age of 21
with 5 children from various fathers, whilst the ‘husband’
was little more than a useless idiot who proudly admitted
that he had no plans to ever seek work. And there are
millions like these across Britain, sucking the life blood
from their own country, in fact people like this now seem
quite common right across the European Union.
Let’s not beat around the bush; the main people to
blame for governing Britain into this state of near financial
and cultural collapse are, without doubt, its previous
Socialists governments. This is the very same animal
currently governing Australia and who, as depressingly
as always, have found it totally impossible to balance
Australia’s books. Even with our massive once in a
hundred year mining boom, our Socialist brothers and
sisters keep chalking up more and more debt. It would be
laughable, were it not so outrageous, and what is equally
as outrageous is the stark fact that they still think that
they are acting in our national interest! They keep harping
on about “working families”, but without a properly
functioning economy, the work will eventually run out
and their much vaunted social programs will collapse.
These are stark truths that Socialists can’t ever seem to
get their heads around although, to be fair, 2 long decades
ago Paul Keating came close!
What seems to have happened across most of European
society is that the ‘elite’ amongst those that produce little
or nothing, the ‘takers’, have been elected to govern those
that work and produce the goods and services that society
genuinely needs, the ‘givers’. Effectively, the ‘takers’
have been allowed to gradually gain more and more
control over the ‘givers’. They have done this by stealthily
erecting more and more hurdles for the ‘givers’ to climb
over until there is nothing, if anything, left to give. This
has been conducted in the form of slow bullying and is
now why Britain and France, countries with a combined
population 7 times that of Australia’s, are now financially
buckling under their massive and unsustainable weight of
ever growing debt. It is why Greece, Italy, Spain, Cyprus,
Portugal and Ireland are all, in reality, bankrupt.
So, I arrived back here in June to be told that our Socialist
friends in Canberra have delivered yet another piece of
newly legalised claptrap requiring us to now report our
staffing choices to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.
Once again this is nothing other than more forms to fill
out, which are then given to new government employees,
none of which are actually producing anything, so as
they can, I gather, check as to whether or not there is any
excuse for them to impose new fines or restrictions on
our company for infringements that have never existed
before. This is, once again, nothing more than the ‘takers’
trying to squeeze more from the ‘givers’ by dressing it up
as social reform, a lame excuse that the ‘takers’ fall back
on all of the time. Of course, the ‘takers’ never actually
ever asked the ‘givers’ whether or not this was acceptable
as they knew full well that we would have given them a
resounding no, but that, of course, never stops them, so
distorted is their real world financial view of society.
Usually, the leaders of the ‘takers’ are, of course, mainly
spiteful left wing lawyers whose stock in trade are the
words that we all use, except that they spend years
learning to use them cleverer than us so as they appear
reasonable. In fact, nothing could be more unreasonable,
and the miserable and now failed socialist experiment in
Europe speaks volumes about the result.
Communism doesn’t work, and now we know that its
smaller sister Socialism doesn’t work either because as
soon as you remove the need for personal thrift, hard
work, independence and just reward from any society, it
starts to wither and die. The legacy of the great majority
of left wing nanny state governments are now, more than
ever, known to be armies of unemployed, social unrest,
unsustainable debt, financial collapse. Many European
countries are now sad testament to these stark facts.
Amazingly, our own home grown Socialists don’t seem
to be hearing this screamingly loud message and have
still continued, by imposing even more red tape, to make
operating a small or medium sized business, the financial
backbone of this nation, ever harder.
Anyway, in September, or whatever date our latest
unelected prime minister chooses, we have a sorely needed
chance to kick these Socialist carpet baggers way out into
the Australian political wilderness, a golden opportunity
to teach them a much needed lesson before they commit
even more financial and cultural damage upon our still
proud nation. And we have thankfully still plenty to be
proud of, unlike those scores of millions in Europe who
have watched their nations bankrupted over a 50 year
orgy of stupidity, selfishness and ego, all committed under
the guise of Socialist reform.

FUNNY
STUFF THAT!
Sailing
to Italy…
A young Brisbane woman was so
depressed that she decided to end her
life by throwing herself into the river.
Just before she could throw herself
from the docks, a handsome young
man stopped her.
“You have so much to live for,” said the
man.“I’m a sailor, and we are off to Italy
tomorrow. I can stow you away on my
ship. I’ll take care of you, bring you food
every day, and keep you happy.”
With nothing to lose, combined with
the fact that she had always wanted to
go to Italy , the woman accepted.
That nightthesailorbroughtheraboard
and hid her in a small but comfortable
compartment in the hold.
From then on, every night he would
bring her three sandwiches, a bottle of
red wine, and make love to her until
dawn.
Two weeks later she was discovered by
the captain during a routine inspection.
“What are you doing here?” asked the
captain.
“I have an arrangement with one of
the sailors,” she replied. “He brings me
food and I get a free trip to Italy.”
“I see,” the captain says.
Her conscience got the best of her and
she added, “Plus, he’s screwing me.”
“He certainly is,” replied the captain.
“This is the Stradbroke Island Ferry .”
A duck walks into a pub and orders a
beer and a ham sandwich. The barman
looks at him and says, ‘But you’re a duck.’
‘I see your eyes are working.’ replies the duck.
‘And you talk!’ exclaims the barman.
‘I see your ears are working’, says the duck, ‘Now can I have my
beer and my sandwich please?’
‘Certainly’ say the barman, ‘sorry about that, it’s just that we don’t
get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing around this way?’
‘I’m working on the building site across the road’, explains the duck.
Then the duck drinks his beer, eats his sandwich and leaves.
This continues for 2 weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town.
The ringleader of the circus come into the pub and the barman says
to him, ‘You’re with the circus aren’t you? I know a duck that would
be just brilliant in your circus, he talks, drinks beer and everything!’
‘Sounds marvellous’, says the ringleader, ‘get him to give me a call.’
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says,
‘Hey Mr Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying
really good money!’
‘Yeah?’ says the duck, ‘Sounds great, where is it?’
‘At the circus’, says the barman.
‘The circus?’ the duck inquires.
‘That’s right’ replies the barman.
‘The circus?’ the duck asks again.
‘Yes’, says the barman.
‘The place with the big tent?’ the duck questioned.
‘Yeah’, the barman replies.
‘With all the animals?’ the duck questioned.
‘Of course” the barman replies.
‘With the big canvas roof with the hole in the middle?’ asks the
duck.
‘That’s right!’ says the barman.
The duck looks confused.
‘Why on earth do they want a plasterer?’

Sex after Death!!
A couple made a deal that whoever died
first would come back and inform the
other if there is sex after death. Their
biggest fear was that there was no after-
life at all. After a long life together, the
husband was the first to die.
True to his word, he made the first
contact:
“ Marion .... Marion... “
“Is that you, Bob?”
“Yes, I’ve come back like we agreed.”
“That’s wonderful! What’s it like?”
“Well, I get up in the morning, I have
sex. I have breakfast and then it’s off to
the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in
the warm sun and then have sex a couple
of more times. Then I have lunch (you’d
be proud - lots of greens). Another romp
around the golf course, then pretty much
have sex the rest of the afternoon. After
supper, it’s back to the golf course again.
Then it’s more sex until late at night.
I catch some much needed sleep and
then the next day it starts all over again”.
“Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?”
“No… I’m a rabbit somewhere near
Mildura.”
A Timely
Reminder…
Arthur is 81 years old. He’s played golf
every day since his retirement 16years
ago. One day he arrives home looking
downcast.
“That’s it,” he tells his wife “I’m giving
up golf. My eyesight is so bad; once I hit
the ball I can’t see where it went.”
His wife sympathizes.
As they sit down, she makes a suggestion:
“Why don’t you take my brother with
you and give it one more try.”
“That’s no good,” sighs Arthur.“Your
brother is 93 years old. He can’t help.”
“He may be a ninety three,” says the
wife, “but his eyesight is perfect.”
So the next day, Arthur heads off to the
golf course with his brother-in-law.
He tees up, takes an almighty swing and
squints down the fairway.
He turns to the brother-in-law,
“Did you see the ball?”
“Of course I did!” says the brother-in-
law. “I have perfect eyesight.”
“Where did it go?” asks Arthur.
“Can’t remember.”

FORE LAUGHS
Golfer At
The Dentist…
A man and his wife walked into
a dentist’s office. The man said to
the dentist, “Doc, I’m in one heck
of a hurry I have two buddies
sitting out in my car waiting for
us to go play golf, so forget about
the anesthetic, I don’t have time
for the gums to get numb. I just
want you to pull the tooth, and be
done with it! We have a 10:00 AM
tee time at the best golf course
in town and it’s 9:30 already... I
don’t have time to wait for the
anesthetic to work!’
The dentist thought to himself,
“My goodness, this is surely a very
brave man asking to have his tooth
pulled without using anything to
kill the pain.” So the dentist asks
him, “Which tooth is it sir?”
The man turned to his wife and
said, “Open your mouth, Honey,
and show him…
