Why No Thread ?

[Canary42]

Benefit cheats usually get canned on here, so why no faux outrage from one of the usual suspects.

Must be because he's indigenous.

[ummmm]

The last case I read about (much worse than this one) was also indigenous.

And...I think ALL benefit cheats get canned on here, regardless of colour/race/religion.

If there was a thread on every Benefit cheat we'd need a separate topic.

They're all thieves.

[naomi24]

There is a thread. This one.

[jim360]

Alternative theory: story was just overlooked.

“We have zero tolerance of anyone fraudulently claiming benefits and will take swift action to investigate, supporting our partners and prosecutors to bring them to justice – as we did in this case.” Oh yes, swift action? He was on benefits for 10 years.

If you care to google you will find hundreds of indigenous benefit fraudsters unfortunately.
However if by posting this nonsense you consider that your 'virtue signalling' status has impressed us I think you may have failed.
I don't mind a challenge . You try and find indigenous work shy lowlifes. They are two a penny.

[THECORBYLOON]

SANMAC, the fact he had been claiming for ten years does not mean the DWP was made aware of the doubt ten years ago does it?

[retrocop]

Must try harder Canary. There are loads highlighted in the second link. It ain't hard. :-(

CANARY, I didn't pick up on the claimant's ethnicity and I doubt it had any relevance to the case not being mentioned previously.

>>> If there was a thread on every Benefit cheat we'd need a separate topic.

Agreed. Dozens of benefit cheats appear before the courts every day and very few cases make it into the national media. A bit of googling suggests that the case you refer to was covered by local media, and even got a mention in the Wail, but it didn't appear on the national pages of the BBC website. (Only a very, very small number of people in the UK use Yahoo as a news source).

He didn't look disabled in the videos though:

[Cloverjo]

Indigenous to where?

[Mamyalynne]

Cannock I think.

[tonyav]

Lichfield.

[Mamyalynne]

Stand corrected.

[ToraToraTora]

dam savage should be thrashed to within and inch of his life. Better?

[Spicerack]

Darn. You caught us out, Canary.

[douglas9401]

Just so I'm clear, the game is that no matter what Canary42 posts it's to be ridiculed and derided even thought it may be along the same lines as that posted by someone else.

Or am I wrong?

[Bobbisox1]

Probably right Douglas, not good and not clever is it?

[Old_Geezer]

You know. I've no idea why there's not a thread here for every benefit cheat that's caught. Some members are being very lax in their duty to bring all these cheaters to our attention.

[Old_Geezer]

Not that I've noticed doug, but he does start threads that are open to controversy.
