benefit cheats ... ha ha ha

[joggerjayne]

That advert has just been on the radio ...

"Benefit cheats ... we're closing in on you"

* Ha ha ha *

The Govt is still spending taxpayers money to run this advert !?!?!?!?!?

... when most of the benefit cheats are in the Govt !!

If you can find a better example of Irony ...

... I'll eat my knickers.

[ELVIS68]

Literally?

[joggerjayne]

If you like.

morning Jayne :o)

the ad gives an incredible boost to the number of allegations of fraud received, and the long term savings (including recovery of overpayments) are enormous.

[joggerjayne]

Well vibe ...

Obviously I would choose a pair of wedgie pants ...

... not my sports knickers.

[joggerjayne]

Sassy ...

The MP's then pocket all the money that is saved !!

LOL

If the ad. encourages people to report benefits cheats then I'm all for it. I was lucky enough to have had a good job until retirement and recognise that some people need help to which I am quite happy to contribute..........I still do as I pay tax on my pension.......but the idle sods who cheat the system should be flogged. With regard to MP's expenses the country is rife with this kind of thing.....I was amazed at what some people got away with claiming in expenses from the company I worked for.....all of which was indirectly passed on to the consumer......

I wouldn't mind prepping a few MP's fraud cases for court!

[ummmm]

The system is a joke. When I lost my job I claimed income support for about 4 months. Then got pulled because they said I claimed 2 weeks I wasn't entitled to. 2 weeks ffs......I proved I was entitled btw.

In my whole life I've claimed twice. The first time for about a year when my daughter was a baby. The second as above. I sat with the woman asking her to look at my history. She looked ashamed. She knew I wasn't a benefit cheat....they cheated me.

my uncles a benefit fraud special investigator

more power to him.

if it wasnt for the boswelll family types of the 70s and 80s the benefit system wouldnt have become such a money making oportunity.

then maybe some of these immigrants that we hear are apparently coming here for the benefits wouldnt bother.

infact why not cut benefits to the majority and offer work instead?

then any immigrants or jeremy kyle rejects can apply for workk related benefit


now work

no money

go live in a ditch

or work to pay your way?

its a novel idea but one im sure that wouldnt be popular with a lot of lazy idle uk dole scrounging benefit cheats.

[Mr Veritas]

Well,I'd like to know how to cheat please!
I am 86 and still having problems getting,and more to the point keeping,benifits to which I AM entitled.
This Government keeps moving the goalposts,and creating new quangos for various benefits.
None of the Benefits I receive are dealt with by the same department,and they all have different rules etc on what disqualifies you from the relevant benefit.
I always thougt Benefit Fraudsters were idiots,going by my experiences they ought to be on Mastermind.
Please don't tell me to see the CAB,I have,and they too cannot understand most of it,nor can the local Claimants Union.
Government does this to stop people getting what they deserve!

lol I think its funny when they are always called lazy and idle when ironically they claim jobseekers allowance but also work so not lazy just devious
