wherebee Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 This geezer is obviously fit to work, but from the story is another example of a potentially useful member of society being given cash taken from taxpayers. Interesting he got 15 months for the financial offence, no prison time for the violence.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the same bloke? - Link (original story from 2008) "nine previous convictions for 18 offences, spanning from 1984 to 2008; including a five-year prison sentence for manslaughter in 1999" Edited May 18, 2011 by Clocker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goat Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Would any one want to employ him though? Harris was found to fraudulently have been claiming Income Support, Housing Benefit and Council Tax benefit between January 2006 and November 2010, as well as receiving £54,729 in earnings which he failed to declare and claiming Disability Living Allowance.

mark1 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Wasnt that a women he hit after sucker punching the first guy. What a hero. A lifetime ban from claiming benefits would be a better sentence for the fraud as he's never going to pay it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Spaniard Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Some enterprising Taser salesman could use the video of Mr Harris vs five policemen as a sales pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
