on the subject of lying...
 

did anyone read in the paper about the woman caught out claiming benefits and working? she took her kids to her interview and was asked if she had a job and she said no but her little ones (4 and 6 i think) said "yes you do mummy"



oooops :D

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

Haha, have you got a link to that Emma?

Reminds me of my long ago ex...when the police tried to pin something on him. Kids dropped him in it big style!!! :D

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

sorry, read in a paper in a cafe yesterday, not sure which :(

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

Ha! Well, they would drop her in it, wouldn't they?

Kids that age just tell it how it is and she was a fool to expect anything else.

Mind you, she must be a fool to claim benefits whilst working.

Silly woman. :(

That reminds me of the old gag, Hello Mrs Jackson, can I have a look at your other face please, my mum says your two faced:D

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

A mate of mine who was a VAT inspector dropped his mate off to check someones books.When he returned to pick him back up he jokingly said right now show him the real ones.

The mans wife said "He must mean the ones under the bed"
Oh dear!!!:eek::eek:

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

i know quite a few people on accyweb who claim benefits and work cash in hand at the same time


pot and kettle and all that

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

you are allowed to do a certain amount before you declare it, you can earn £20 i think it is. I did an hour or so of cleaning here and there for a while before i was pregnant that i didnt need to declare ( i know that because i asked my lone parent advisor just in case)

Its not worth the risk of getting caught and prosecuted over a few quid

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

Thats a bit naughty flashy, your getting on dangerous ground there:rolleyes:

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

did i mention your name Emma? :rolleyes:

Jay, you work that out how? just because you have a puppet master pulling your strings doesnt give you the right to say whats good and whats not, is that actually you under your name today or is it a certain someone else?

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

It's only pot and kettle, if this vast crowd of accywebbers have posted on here against such actions.

I notice though the no tolerance brigade have yet again lumped the genuine receivers of benefits in with the ones that pretend to be ill so that they don't have to work, hardly a fair bit of thinking is it?

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

what pee's me off Less is the fact that people are writing such crap, yet again we have more sheep on accyweb

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

Are sheep allowed to claim benefits and work?

Damn these sheep taking the work away from our Polish brethren!

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

people like to slate other people for doing the exact same thing that they are slating them for

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

Well you can not blame the little ones for saying that thats what comes out when they are at that age.

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

I think there is a big difference between someone who claims benefits and works cash in hand 40 hours a week compared to someone who does the old job for £20 for someone. Same thing goes for someone doing the odd job and not declaring it to the tax man if they are working.

At a place I used to work a lad got sacked for being off on the sick while working for someone else plastering a house. Turns out is was the General Manager from works house :D:D.

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

I dont think shes being naughty at all .
All flashy has done is point out that she knows of cerain folk who claim benefits whilst working and they just happen to be members on here, In no way has she mentioned any names and TBH i doubt she would.
In all fairness Jaysay there is a lot of the glass house syndrome on accyweb. but I would imagine its like that on most disscusion forums.

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

I take exception to that flashy, I'm nobodies puppet never have been never will be, but like you I have an opinion and have the rite to air it, which I do, on a regular basis

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

In life I would say, not just on here.

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

I would have agreed if she had said muppet :p:D:D

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

i cant decide which one of these he would be ..:D

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

True enough. :)

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

If she'd have said muppet I wouldn't have taken exception, I'd would have agreed:D

Swines,I did my best to keep me and Less off this thread

Re: on the subject of lying...
 

This is the link to the story;

Bolton mum exposed as benefits cheat by her children (From This Is Lancashire)

Also noticed on Burnley council's website that they actually prosecudted somebody for claiming £94.95 too much in benefits, now thats what you call a quick spot. :D

Maybe they now employ more benefit cheat inspectors or they are getting better at their jobs. :)
