So get your facts right.

While we're on the subject of getting facts right let me simplify this even further for you Tim.
I did not say or suggest that a public limited company is is "owned or controlled by the tax payer or government". I merely contested your assertion that "a bank is a private business".

I can say that I was really happy when they did lose the DLA and the car, that myself and many other tax payers were paying for. And I wish it had happened a long time a go. But for circumstances that I can't reveal, I couldn't be the one to drop them in it.

Funny that, because earlier in this thread you agreed with Hugh when he said that to do nothing about benefit fraud was a cop out.

And your way of ensuring that this comes about is to turn a blind eye to fraud because you may be inconvenienced by reporting it?

Tim, with all due respect, as has been evidenced in our exchanges in this thread even
you don't understand what you are saying. You trip yourself up and contradict yourself time and again and when you realize you've made a faux pas you try to change the context of the issue at hand.
Given your comments regarding your neighbour it's a bit rich you accusing me of thinking the worst of people.

No, it was a factual response to your suggestion - obviously lost on you.
