    FGS the pair of you are like a pair of wild cats, ready to scratch peoples eyes out just because their views differ to yours...go and have a lie down the pair of you your bp must be through the roof.

    I note with great interest that you've declined to answer the question several times, and attempted to play the ball rather than the woman. No doubt posters will draw their own conclusions from that. A tip, though. You haven't got the goods to pull off being patronising.

    Put your claws away.....please don't waste your time trying to read something more into my decision to 'decline' as you put it....I'm just not interested enough in what you say that's all.... Your just looking silly now by going on and on...were you a bully at school by any chance?

    Isn't a person defrauding the state all of our business?

    This is my opinion:
    Yes it is our business - if the evidence is there - without (imho) having to 'pry and dig deep for it'.
    As I've already posted - imho - the OP did not sound 100% sure that benefit fraud was being committed.

    If I were sure that a person was defrauding the state, I would make it my business - as evidenced by my previous posts:

    Speaking personally, I don't think you have enough hard evidence to warrant reporting her for benefit fraud. But that's just my opinion.

    Someone who advocates snooping through people's bank statements has no business making comments about bullies or looking silly, I'm afraid. I note again your failure to answer the question... and if you weren't interested, you would no longer be posting.

    Ah, another one who uses the word patronising for someone who's not afraid to point out the stupidity of others. Lovely to hear from you again inbetween your busy schedule of nosying at other people's bank statements, pretending you didn't and having convenient revelations. But I thought you were leaving us?

    I never said I was leaving, I simply said I wasn't responding to you again yesterday as you were boring me. Actually you are probably boring a lot of people.


    But if you insist on policing the threads can I suggest you get a dictionary, it may save you looking any sillier.

    And yet you've now responded, twice. You seem unable to tear yourself away, despite protestations otherwise.

    If you insist on remaining here and responding to me, can I suggest you get a clue. It would probably take more than just that to make you not look silly, but that's not my problem.

    Evidence that someone is claiming a benefit isnt evidence of fraud. i'm actually disgusted that some people think its ok to pry through their friends belongings to catch them out.
    this government has reduced this country to a load of judgemental, nasty people.
