    Watched the programme on benefit cheats last night... FFS I don't know who's more inept, the cheats or the Investigators...</p>

    4 blokes working in an Indian restaurant, all they had to do was walk in and catch em working... oh no, lets have a five month investigation, hiding in cars, wastingthousands of poundsetc and then give em a few community hours.... the women investigating even said she felt sorry for one of the scum bags defrauding the system cos he was only getting &pound;25 a night ON TOP OF THE MONEY HE GETS FROM Mr Honest Taxpayer !!!! And he's got the cheek to plead poverty and say he's &quot;very ill&quot; and can't work.... we'llwasn't not bad at knocking kids out for us all to look after!!! If Martin Scorsese had been behind the camera he's have been up for an Oscar for Best Actor !!!!</p>

    I'm sure the Government only employ theseInvestigators etcto otherwise keep THEM of the dole. </p>

    If i ran my business like the government doi'd be out of business in a fortnight!!!!!</p>

    That department costs more money to run than it saves. Great.

    This country is a joke. Every decent britain should emigrate and leave the government with the ***** to deal with. Got to pay my tax at the end of the month and where is that money going? To the scumbags who pretend to be ill and claim benefits.

    Are they any worse than the tax evaders?

    Not sticking up for benefit fraudsters.. but apparrently Big money people and big businesses. cost this country country in excess of £32 billion pounds each year in lost tax revenue. Perhaps we should committ the same energy, expense, resources (call it what you will) in getting this money back.

    Also..

    The money lost through benefit cheats barely compares to that lost through tax evaders of sort or another. As I have already said, I don't defend these people, but lets get things into perspectiveeh.

    Pretty sure you can write what you want in any thread

    The magnetic field of the Earth flips every now and then. One is due around now as it has been over 10,000 years since the last flip of the field. No one knows what causes it.

    Look at it like this

    5 month investigation, 1000's of hours manpower spent watching them, why didnt they just go in and threaten the owner, saved alot more money that way. The people with the houses were alot worse, but they were not working, just buying 350k houses and drawing £500 a month rent on a property that was being paid for by the social!!
