And for stealing our money, he gets put up in a hotel ( okay so it's really called prison, but it may as well be a hotel) with TV, free food, doesnt have to go to work - and we get to pay for his accomadation also I say leave him at work - make him pay it back , get him to do extra work.

It's the benefits bods that I would be more angry with ... how could they be that incompetent? Would they be that lazy and useless if it was their own money? I think we know the answer to that one.

without doubt the benefit bods are to blame also - I mean how does a 30 yr old have 36 kids - are they so F. asleep that they didnt think to check, or do we have so many scumbags that registering 36 kids doesnt even count as abnormal. At the possibility of upsetting any T595 civil servants , ( and I am one, and have been one, so I do understand) do these people not care about how they carry out their jobs?, do they not have a level of competency or due dilligence). Having worked for a private company for years, the lack of care in local gov. was scary. I felt obliged to do a good job for the public purse - but heh that's me, perhaps I care too much. - I mean for F. sake it IS THEIR own money - ok so it's not coming out of their own bank account, but then taxes go up, and they DWP staff want more money - well go Figure!!  Rant over - thanks for listening.

Quote: how does a 30 year old have 36 kids? | Easy; by shagging lots of different women. I once worked with a chap (late 20's) who had 11 different kids by 7 different women. We used to take the piss out of him a lot (e.g. how are you still alive?!!!); but to give his dues he was paying for all of them off his own back.

The Tax credit system is wide open to abuse and hideously over complicated so cases like this will happen. Get rid of all of this sort of benefit and bring back the dependant allownce

Fraser induced HM Revenue to make payments totalling £79,718. He was jailed for 13 months at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. Christ - it doesn't seem that he has to pay it back!! 13 months only - at our expense???
