Swan_Vesta 11 #13 Posted June 9, 2011 Psst. You are aiming at the wrong target. Quite. She's still a thief who is currently paying back her ill claimed spoils and has her added community service as an extra punishment ... Maybe it's the jolt to her system to get a job? These politicians are convicted on the basis that their office should mean that they are above such petty thievery, however, it would appear that they are as apt to dip their hands in the till as your average sink estate sket.

satman2222 10 #14 Posted June 10, 2011 So if she is married, why isn't she named as Mrs Linfitt? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mecky 10 #15 Posted June 10, 2011 How so? We're talking about a thief here are we not? Are we not, can you not, will you not. My God, it sounds like you've been watching Coronation Street. Why not ask people if they are/can do things rather than if they can't. For example, you wouldn't say, "Will you not pass me that newspaper?" would you? In reply to your question. I did not say what this couple did was right, it isn't. The point I was makinig is that there is move by the politicians, aided and abetted by media hype, to villify everyone who is unemployed and that includes unemployed people who desperately want to work.

sues_budgie 10 #23 Posted June 10, 2011 WELL, you say £25,000 net is lots, but its peanuts. Its only the eqivalent of £35,000 a year gross income HOw on earth will people survive on that? Think about it, if someone has 7 children, then they cannot be expected to live in a 2 bedroomed house. Don't forget, we cannot punish the children as they don't derserve to be punished. Lets not also forget that drugs are not cheap, so we should pay more to people with these kinds of problems in order to help them with there habit. £35,000 PER ANNUM !!!! could you survive on that amount of money?
