'Flipping marvellous'
It must be fun to be a NL apparatchik as it is all flipping, fripperies…and fraud. So while these greedy apparatchiks have their snouts firmly in the trough. Lets have a look at the DWP’s publication on fraud and error….
Lets look at how much money is underpaid when your average NL clone exploits the system. Lets look at the pathetic NL apparatchik’s excuse, ‘It was an honest mistake’, ‘I was acting within the rules’ and ‘I have done nothing wrong’.
NL are obsessed with the idea of ‘benefit cheats’ and scroungers’…well, it is obvious they (step forward McNulty and Purnell) are applying their own cheating and greedy standards to everyone else. One rule for us and one rule for them…
NL will highlight the ‘errors and fraud’ in this report but what is conveniently forgotten is the amount of money that is not claimed. Money people are entitled to but for various reasons didn’t get. Around £1.2bn was underpaid. Underpaid….! So the poorest people in this society would have lost out, living in further poverty and yet NL greedy grasping apparatchiks make sure they don’t lose out even when it isn’t theirs to take. The sheer hypocrisy of these people is utterly breathtaking.
Yet I don’t see posters etc. telling people about benefits they could and should be applying for. Encouraging people as opposed to scaremongering and instilling so much fear about ‘benefit fraud’ that it actually puts people off applying but hey, NL won’t be losing sleep over that …especially if they have a firm handmade pocket sprung mattress with a silk & cashmere top and kitted out with some nice silk cushions.
And also the amount of money lost due to ‘error and fraud’ is a drop in the financial ocean when comparing it to tax evasion and avoidance (something in the region of between £97bn and £150bn is lost in tax theft). But again, it will be about ‘benefit cheats’. Unfortunately I doubt I will be seeing a poster any time soon near my local bus stop that states, ‘No ifs no buts, tax evasion is a crime’…. with a photo of Blears and Purnell under the Big Brother watchful eye of the HMRC and the cops….
Now that would be a result. I mean don’cha just detest ‘something for nothing’ culture..?
I’m in total agreement with you here. Yes truly. Also I can’t stand the Royal bloody Family. They all piss me off. They take loads of public money when they’ve got heaps of it themselves and spend on all sorts of trips and clothing. Why doesn’t the press lay into these leeches?
I agree. I am on benefits myself and am sick to the back teeth of the constant attacks on those on benefit when the bankers, polititians and business are the biggest welfare chiselers there could ever be!
Have you heard about the Need not Greed campaign? http://www.neednotgreed.org.uk/
