following on from yellownanas thread, would you , could you...shop a sponger?

[Bobbisox]

I think I could now whereas at one time I would have said NO, but how many of you are sick of the workshy bunch taking the pee and going on holidays and suchlike ?
I am !

how can it effect them? ok they wont get a holiday this year. She has the money to save for things like holidays and she is happy to rub your nose in it and brag to all and sundry.

Benefits arent there for holidays, they are there to prevent utter poverty.

Yellow, if you don't want to ring then have you got anyboy on this thread's email or facebook? Forward the details to them and I've no doubt they'll do it for you. Definately no come back then.

As for the kids, surely the long term damage of seeing Mummy stealing day in, day out is worse than the short term shock of not having a PS3 for a while.

[yellownana]

I totally agree.. What i mean by them suffering is that, what if she got sent to prison or something.. Oh i don't know... I just don't fancy being the one to disrupt their lives..

[LoftyLottie]

Bobjugs is right.

However, if you use the link I have given you and telephone who will know? Only you. And if she brags to everybody about it she won't be able to pin in on anybody.

[yellownana]

I don't mean they'd get less gifts and holidays.. I'm not that much of a pushover - lol

[redcrx]

shes unlikely to go to prison, look at the papers, many get away with paying back a pound a week.

The earlier she is stopped the less she will have to pay back

Im with you all -I say nothing because of the children but they eat likes kings (takeaways every night) live the high life (he's on the lash every opportunity) buy motors (never trade them in just scrap them) kids are like tinks (no excuse).
Lazy selfish toerags who use their kids for their own selfish ends.

[bobjugs12]

She won't go to prison for benefit fraud. She will be charged and will probably have to pay back the money she stole. Other than that she will get off with a slap on the wrists.

[yellownana]

Ok.. i just looked at form and it asks for the number of her house, which i don't know... Will think of something..

Its the people that are claiming this that and the other and then going to the papers saying I cannot afford to work-my benefits are great that get up my nose.
They are claiming legitimately so they say but how many of these families have a billion kids and claim to have a disability or that their kids have?Strange that....

There was a Documentary on BBC last Tuesday called The Scheme (six parter can be caught on BBC player).
It was truly jaw dropping but one of those progs you just have to watch.JK 's victims were pussycats.
The Police are on to the lot of them -vallied/methadoned out their heads and being filmed giving false alibis and worse -the biggest plasmas youve ever seen and smoking at least 60 fags a day mostly lying in bed yelling at the little 5yr old cxxx to get a move on for school -all on benefits.
Its embarassing highlighting it as its a scheme in Scotland but its widespread every where.
If you have the time and the stomach watch it.............

.....and what about all the self-employed who year in year out lie on their tax returns in order to pay less tax?

Us PAYE folk have to pay the correct tax so why should they get away with it?

Are they not just as guilty? It's still fraud
