I'm just puzzled as to what 'services' Mrs Coates did for the community to get her badge. Maybe i'll ask my cousin whose a big Stoke City supporter and knows far more about the family than i do but it seems she's got her badge more for making shed loads of money than doing any community work. Stoke is still a morbidly depressing place with high unemployment so she doesn't seem to have done much there other than build a gross ugly slab of HQ. There was something recently about clamping down on fixed odds betting machines but i haven't really a clue what these things are. Apparently people can lose thousands in a matter of minutes.

John52 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 pelmetman - 2018-11-23 9:37 PM I only ever claimed them for about a year........I was shocked how easy it was to qualify, 8-) ......... Actually it was at one time. Thatcher won the 1979 election on the famous Saatchi & Saatchi poster of a posed dole queue over the caption 'Labour isn't Working' Then laid waste to mining and manufacturing but needed to keep her official unemployment count below one million. I've heard of Jobcentre staff encouraging people to sign on as sick instead of unemployed at that time. Things have gone to the other extreme now with people being declared fit for work the same week (and in one case the same day) they died from their illness. They get the unemployment figures down by counting zero hours contracts as jobs. But the old idea of masses of fit people claiming to be sick to get benefits has persisted. Wheras the big frauds seem to be identity theft with professional crims claiming benefits for people who don't exist. Or like the fraudsters who succesfully claimed over a million pounds from the Royal Tory Borough (PS: or rather the poorer boroughs Theresa May had taken money from to give to the Royal Tory Borough) for living in a Grenfell Tower flat that didn't even exist. Simply because the Royal Tory Borough didn't bother to check their records before handing out our money >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Tracker - 2018-11-23 4:10 PM Maybe we need to cut benefit payments? Just watched the Can't Pay? We'll take it away! TV programme broadcast last night. A 60 year old mechanic, who had worked and paid taxes until he had a brain tumour and could no longer work, was being evicted from his tiny terraced house because housing benefit didn't cover the rent. Even the Baliffs said they were 'Appalled' - as they looked over his rented home he kept immaculate right till the end. How much further would you like to cut benefits?
