Havard Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 How is it possible?? Ask the other hundreds of thousands of scroungers that do it. I would disband the benefits system and anyone who wants handouts would have to prove that they were disabled, not going "Oooh, my back hurts" whenever they remember to..... H.

marbleapple Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Whole point is though that they get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 How is this possible? Because the benefits office is too busy doling out freebies to all the immigrants that have swamped the service in the last few years to bother checking who they're giving them to.

Paul Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Wouldn't happen if George Galloway was PM On the downside though we'd all have to dress in Lycra and end diplomatic relations with Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 The system sucks from start to finish, from the Doctors that write these plebs up and sign them off work to get them out of their surgery to the piss poor computer and manual systems that they have in place in the dole office. It is getting better, but it's in a terrible state at the moment. It's not just these people that should be prosecuted, there should be investigations into the Docs too that help these people on their quest to bludge off the state. There has been a few of these come to light, like the guy who was caught claiming disability due to back troubles who tripped himself up by running the London Marathon and getting himself in the paper. He managed to complete the Marathon and a host of other fun runs when he was supposed to be bed ridden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
