Pay buy-to-let with benefit money!
Times: Councils culpable as benefits fraudsters steal £140 million from taxpayers
With 6m people on benefits, £140m of fraud is a clear understatement. "A tenant who claimed benefits for homelessness and was given a tenancy had actually bought two homes in different London boroughs and was renting out both" what a surprise!! if you suspect or hear about these abuses report them to your Council and the DWP Hotline 0800 854 440

Funny, I'd have thought it was the fraudsters who were culpable.

This Government, (which now presides over a country that gets more like the old East Germany every day), cannot possibly have any sort of system that might enable the people to work out what is actually going on.
No, - if I was Gordon Brown, I would adjust the inflation figures by including house prices and second hand Chelsea Tractors, both of which are falling like the proverbial stone.

In case you think the above doesn't make sense - you are quite right, it should have been on the following article concerning how inflation is worked out. Now where did I leave my pills !!

It's Nationwide, in every Town and almost every Street. All those working honestly are inadvertantly funding these frauds.
Best of all : ----------- Nearly Everyone knows someone who's at it !
