max   13 #97 Posted March 1, 2016 Don't be surprised - some members on here wouldn't report known criminals or crimes been carried out.  How true, I remember some time ago a poster asserted that everybody in his pub was a convicted criminal and had done time. In those circumstances, I'd be reluctant to report a neighbour for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sutty27 Â Â 10 #99 Posted March 1, 2016 Would anyone shop their neighbour? I wouldn't it's terrible. Live and let live and mind your own. You can't possibly no everything about someone's circumstances. Â Would you also ignore a shop lifter, a purse snatcher, a granny basher, a car thief, ect. ect. ect. ?

*_ash_*   88 #100 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) why should i care about someone elses tenancy? a tenancy is a contract between two people  Try answering the law bit then  So you'd move rather than report a neighbour who you knew where breaking the law?*   -  (*I put tenancy in brackets herbal, because I'm not sure whether living in a council house when you aren't registered there is breaking the law) Edited March 1, 2016 by *_ash_* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M   1,599 #108 Posted April 13, 2016 Interesting debate from PMQs today:  Benefits fraud costs the government £1.3bn a year, according to official statistics, while the gap between tax owed and tax paid is put at £34bn a year by officials  YET:  The government confirmed on Wednesday that the ranks of DWP benefits investigators have swelled to 3,700 – a higher number than the one quoted by Robertson, and up from 2,600 in February last year. That compares with 700 people who work at HM Revenue and Customs in the two units whose job it is to investigate the wealthiest 500,000 people living in the UK.  http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/apr/13/benefit-or-tax-evasion-row-over-the-tories-targets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
