You have had people trying to explain the situation to you and because it doesn't fit for you your ignoring it responding in a way you know will increase hostility and then putting silly responses. You started a thread on something you know nothing about, criticising something you neither know about or have any proposals to solve the issue and then seem surprised when your not met with warmth and debate. You might be the latest on here but people saying the same things as you have been repeating it ad nauseum for the last decade and have managed to be very loud and vocal got the politicians to knee jerk react and then go on their merry way.
Those of us on benefits have no choice we get to suffer every time some media rag or uninformed person decides to wade in temporarily of course and stir the pot and we are served by politicians too lazy to actually do anything positive so they alter the assessment criteria declare job done and leave everyone in a bigger mess then before. This was an occasional casual observation that got you all worked up try living it with it everyday for years and then see how welcoming you are. Your getting insight here you just don't like it because it's not what you thought you would get and you've come across as another welfare basher as usual giving and offering nothing on the issue.

Feel better now?
Ok, for my benefit (no pun intended) let's focus on the plain, irrefutable and simple facts. It should keep things less emotive.
Fact 1 - The discussion is about Motability benefit fraud (and therefore not about you necessarily);
Fact 2 - You know everything about the system and I know nothing (this must be a fact as you repeat it ad nauseam);
Fact 3 - In a document entitled "Fraud and Error in the Benefit System: 2014/15 biannual National Statistics, Great Britain"
linked earlier in the thread the Department of Work and Pensions recorded that £70m was defrauded from the Motability scheme;
Fact 4 - Seventy million pounds is a lot of money to me but not a lot of money to you;
Fact 5 - There is room to improve the efficiency of the Motability Scheme.
Fact 6 - You are up in arms because that's always the best way to react if someone dares to mention a benefits scheme regardless of Fact 1.
Actually, that's the long and the short of it as far as I am concerned. Did I get the facts right?

Of course, the sums involved here are pathetic when compared to those involved in the tax avoidance scams, the monies made by big business at the public's expense, etc.
He does not rail against these sections of this society, only against the areas that his media sources are directing him to hate ..
You have got your priorities wrong mate ..

I have no axe to grind. A discussion about Motability swindlers is perfectly legitimate.
You have quoted me as saying "I am not a mod" and commented "So don't pretend to be one then". English comprehension is not your strong point is it?
