don't ask silly questions.
You have a PM who thinks he'll save Britain's trading future by exchanging Marmite for Vegemite and sending Australia Boomerangs.
## Oh boy has he opened a Can of Worms with his Boomerang claim.
Expect major Indigenous reaction ..they've already seen of the Chinese who rip-off and manufacture fake Aboriginal items..and have the full weight of the law behind them.
Many moons ago I went to the opening of an art exhibition of works claimed to be by a famous (now deceased) Indigenous artist Clifford Possum (this stuff sells for $100Ks in the USA and I have agent pals who arrange tours..in France Aboriginal works end up in major museums).
Anyway Mr Possum was too late for his own show and I lingered afterwards in the street chatting when Clifford arrived..peered in through the windows at the gallery and burst in tears saying none of the art was done by him and were fakes.
Posh Gallery went bust within the year. Beware Boris- when they Point the Bone at you..powerful Aboriginal curse..it's the end. 
## counting down to minute when Boomerang claim boomerangs back on Boris (geddit ?)  |

I'm sure poor budgeting and people wanting stuff for free is a point maybe ? 
I still don't get why people want the government to do everything for them, Marcus, should set up a charity with other players to help with funds to feed children over the Summer.
The reason why people rely on the government is because they don't have any other option. We pay National Insurance when we are working, in order to pay for benefits when we can't, so we shouldn't feel guilty when we need to claim benefits that are due to us. When you have an accident in your car, you don't feel a stigma when you claim on the insurance and so you shouldn't feel a stigma when claiming benefits. Many of the people on free school meals are working full time.
Personally I think more should be done to prevent people from having large families. Apart from the carbon footprint of having large families, you never know when your financial situation might change and you shouldn't have to rely on handouts from the government.
Premier League footballers should do more themselves. Marcus Rashford earns £200,000 a week, which is around 20 times the average annual salary in a week. The government paid the salaries of many staff of football clubs, whilst the players still trousered their up to £300k/week salaries.
You're telling me staff were furloughed, whilst the fat cats at various football clubs did nothing but still got their weekly salary ?
If that's the case then the government shouldn't of helped out. I'm not entitled to benefits despite paying in the system and I couldn't meet clients either, I lost out due to lockdown.
Self-employed people were allowed benefits during lockdown, if they couldn't trade, and even in normal times they can claim Job Seekers Allowance if they are not working. |
