I heard on the radio that the Gvt could lose about £150 million due to loans being taken supposedly by new Universal benefits system, and this was because the labour party said it should be easier for new claimants to get money sooner, and so they have, even if they are not entitled to it.

Even the mass produced stuff is over a £1 in most supermarkets.

It isn't the Gvt that will lose money - it's the poor British Taxpayer.

I bet Corbyn's quite relieved he lost the election now.

This is in the context of the billions spent on benefits hardly a huge sum, and if this is the cost of preventing people, many vulnerable, from starving for six weeks then it is worth paying. There may well be other inefficiencies in the system which cost as much, but are harder to identify.

Yet you have no issue being chummy with serious offenders.

Noncing, Jim. That?s what Brian reckons Scummins went to jail for.

Brian has said more than innuendo about Paul recently, quite a few times when he?s lost his temper he?s quite plainly called Paul a nonce.

It?s all in the archives.

I don?t know why Paul?s not sued him for libel yet, tbf.

Simply not true. Part of a libel case would investigate whether or not a statement is true. But you can sue regardless. Though you would very likely lose.

It's bloody annoying. Darling wife buys stuff on special offer. So, a few weeks ago, she laid in enough rye and white flour to last 6 months. But, wholemeal wasn't included in the offer, so we're almost out of that.

You may regret posting that when the legislation against hoarding comes in and the confiscators arrive.

As usual you have totally missed the point. Most of these unexpected loans were taken out online by people who had no need or right to take the money.

I'd be more concerned about a weevil infestation. Or mice.

Roger has a strange way of justifying things. If the a leftie does something, even if it is illegal, no problem. Anyone who doesn't share his politics does something, no mercy, even if what they've done isn't criminal etc- he just needs to disapprove.

I wonder what he thinks of Joanne Rust's antics?

Quite true. We had mice. They do leave a disgusting mess, although they fortunately succumb to poison, poor things!
