Lie Detector tests

What utter poppycock this is. Another headline grabbing initiative. There are individuals in Hyndburn who have taken more in benefits to which they are not entitled than the chap in the article below (from the national press ),and yet have not even been prosecuted, far less faced prison,despite the information to prove the case having been readily available for several years. What an absolute shambles.
''Caught digging the garden: the 'wheelchair bound' fraudster who claimed £77k in benefits
A benefits cheat who claimed more than £77,000 in disability payments was filmed running his own business as a gardener and handyman.
Leonard Staniland said osteoarthritis had left him confined to a wheelchair and needing round-the-clock care. But he was filmed by investigators bending over flower beds, climbing ladders and carrying patio slabs.
The 62-year-old falsely claimed incapacity benefit, income support, pension credit, council tax benefit and disability living allowance over a seven-year period.''

I'll wager a bet the technology is only used on those who speak natural English.

Then why don't you name them, or report them to the benefit fraud people?
You can do it online here,
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/campaigns/benefit-thieves/
or by phone on 0800 854 440.
Or are you going to play Chinese whispers again, and not substantiate your claims, and by not having the strength of your convictions to actually do something about it?
Garinda,
You are assuming others have not reported this matter. Not on an online forum but apparently in person and to all organisations affiliated to HMG that were taken for a ride.
Should you think these are chinese whispers, let me put it this way. There are a few on this forum that are in possession of the facts, excluding myself. They too are staggered.

If what you say is true, call the police.
No one is above the law of the land.
Name that person here, if you are so sure it is true. After all you can't be libelled if it is fact, and I'm sure if it was in the public arena the press, amongst others, would investigate your claim.
Or is it a case of more hot air?
Garinda,
Don't take this the wrong way, since it is not so intended. However, I must say that your understanding of what goes on behind the scenes as it were, is in it's infancy at best.
You referred me to a 'benefit cheats' call centre. I can tell you that all they would do is refer it to the local Council and DWP after compiling the information. Thusit is far more effective to approach the fraud investigators at both directly. I understand that has been done some time ago.
The evidence I have seen is compelling. It proves without doubt that benefits, including housing and Council tax benefit, have been awarded when clearly they ought not to have been. Furhter, additional awards were made even after these matters were reported. None of this money has yet been returned I understand.
Should you doubt what I say, then I'm sure some of those on here who have access to the information may reinforce my view. I suspect they shall not give you the full details since it may serve as an impediment to the proposed of action that shall be undertaken going forward.
Hope that helps

Incidentally Garinda, do you have a job? I note that you appear to be on this forum whenever I log on.
Perhaps you can contact one of the centres funded by the LCC for the same, and im sure they shall assist.
I have decided not to respond to you again, since you simply wish to have an argument. I dont have time for that.

Sadly once again, that you don't have the strength of your convictions to actually do anything proactive, and took the much easier option of just moaning about it.
No one is above the law. You should contact the press, your M.P., or the police if you have evidence of a fraud. You are a disgrace as a citizen.
By the way, I'm a retired whore, and now receive an Art's Council grant to post on local forums 24/7, to show sad arses like you up.
He's actually a Hot Air Balloon Pilot. He collects the stuff from anonymous posters on community forums. Good at it isn't he ?
