Who know's. Perhaps someone ran over his cat in a Motability car or something.
This isn't a thread or a discussion its the OP posting something that's not even accurate and then arguing vivaciously with anyone who dares to disagree, regardless of the facts or not./Muted

/Muted?....aaahhhh, I never thought that silence might be such music to my ears.
You do realise that your contribution to the thread has been profane, dismissive, sarcastic, repetitive and vacuous and you're calling me a troll?

We all know the accuracy of the press is questionable. But there is no smoke without fire; Government figures show that fraud is significant. I think the situation is likely to become a little more urgent. Despite the superficial calm, there is a financial crisis and 'free stuff' is not something the UK can afford imho.

I have found myself debunking the mail on numerous occasions while being involved in e-cigarette advocacy and how that paper is allowed to publish some of the articles it does in this day and age astounds me. I have never purchased it or any other paper in this country for decades because i always have a good supply of toilet paper and do not need more.

Yes you did engage and I feel that our exchanges as a sort of sub text in the melee have been worthwhile. I do have an interest in the subject but you seem to be misjudging me by responses made in kind to others who have been less than civil. I am well aware that this is a topic that many get very defensive about; I am also well aware there are recipients of the benefit amongst the forum membership. You would think this would make for ideal conditions to discuss the topic but there you go.
As it is the system is being defrauded of around £70m. I don't know why this loss of funding doesn't seem to overiy concern others especially genuine recipients and I am left to draw conclusion from the information provided in a 'nasty little rag' and from the churlish responses of a few indignant CF contributors. Sigh.
Not sure how reasonable it is to debunk a paper you never read but that's a different discussion. As is
