Can't believe I'm still reading this thread, but I can't help it. Can you point out where we have said the opening post is a fraudster? Or am I missing something here?

ETA, sorry, where we have 'treated' her like a fraudster.

Have to say everyone is entitled to there opinions but nobody should talk down to to other posters, or judge them, my sister is on benefits at the moment and has had a bit of a hard time but i havent asked any q on here about it really, because of the stigma that applies to ppl on benefits here.

everyone just play nice

Can we please put a stop to all these benefit bashing threads and posts? The moment someone mentions they are on benefit all advice for them seems to go out of the window and bashing comes in. It's getting really boring and tedious now. If anyone on this board wants to do something constructive about it maybe they should write to an MP or go and see their local MP or something like that but don't come on here shouting about it.

....sweeping generalisation BS....care to give the number of threads posted, in say, the last week that have been 'bashed'....in percentage terms?

90 posts on a thread that should never have been started, waste of time when there are people on this board and other boards that could do with some constructive help.

What a great way to stop geniuine people who need help/support from posting.

BS if you feel that you or anyone else have been bullied then report the poster but starting a thread, nah keep it of the boards. If you wanna discussion about Benefit Bashers then go start a thread in the Arms discussion forum, dont put others off from posting.

Just a final note, I dont often post in this part of the site but I do read and have to say there are some top peeps here, so yeah keep it up you guys
