News Flash from Darwin...............

[DuncaninFrance]

The Australian Navy intercepted a boatload of people off the coast of Darwin today.
This placed the Navy in an awkward position, as the boat was not heading to, but away from Australia, towards Indonesia.
Another surprise finding was that they were loaded with Aussies who were all seniors of pensionable age.
Their claim was that they were trying to get to Indonesia so as to be able to return to Australia as illegal immigrants
And therefore be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate Australian pensioners.
The Navy it is believed gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey.
We are booking on the next boat out.
Let me know if you want to come.
REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO BE OVER 65 !

I have often wondered if I could go and live somewhere in continental Europe and demand a fully furnished house , an income , they have to speak my language and obey the laws of my religion , send money for my dependents living back in the country of my birth , give me all the assistance I need , free medical care , etc. etc. Of coarse I would have to claim political asylum from the crap governments we have in the UK , as a shooter I must qualify as minority oppressed member of society , continually demonised in the press for being a white middle aged heterosexual male with a job .

Shall I go on ?

I have a couple of friends my age and we have joked about going to Canada and ask for political asylum
to get all those types of benefits.
And the best part is we are already semi-fluent in speaking west-coast Canadian....eh........
