Tom Pride catches the Mail and the Express with their pants down, telling lies on behalf of the government. The people concerned could justifiably sue those papers for slander, on the grounds that they AREN’T on a government ‘top ten benefit fraudster’ list, and that they DIDN’T defraud the taxpayer out of anything like as much money as those tabloids (let’s not call them newspapers) are suggesting.
(not satire – it’s the Daily Mail!)
The Mail and the Express yesterday had articles about an official list of the top ten benefits fraudsters in the country which they say was published by the government.
Just one little problem with it.
The list doesn’t seem to exist.
There doesn’t seem to be any official list of top ten benefits fraudsters published by the government.
There are no links in either the Mail or the Express articles to any government website where the official list is published. No list on the DWP website and no mention of it on the official DWP press office Twitter feed either.
The Mail specifically wrote that Iain Duncan Smith had decided to publish the list – but there is no mention of it on his website or anywhere else.
In fact the only sources for any official list are – the Mail and…

the way this country’s going we will be on par with Egypt
at least they managed to get rid of there Mohamed Morsi who they elected in good faith as president. one very big problem thou was that prior to his win he stood before the people much like David Cameron and spoke a load of old bull
Had it not been for the downfall of the old president Muhammad Hosni El Sayed Mubarak in which the Egyptian had suffered years of abuse morsi might of got away with it but thank god the people of Egypt relised they had made a bad error and were now going to get rid of morsi on the grounds he lied to them at the election and over his first year in office nothing had changed it was just like mubarek was president in other words the country was still in deep sxxx
Cameron has been lucky with only the one riot to his name over the past 3 years but my gut feeling is that it wont be the last and my deep concern is that should he remain in power this country will end up like Egypt and become a police state
i am not criticising the Egyptian police at all as i believe it was the right call to remove morsi from power owing to deception in that he got elected on false promises and with democracy being new to the country it was paramount that the world could see in action a new elected leader who got into power on being a man of integrity
this as we now know morsi was not a man of integrity and like his bad predecessor Mubarak the only options was for the police to take away his power or to wait the 5 years for the next election
Personally i think they were right to take away morsi’s presidency as it was deceptive’ others will think they should have waited the 5 years because that is the way democratic countries work after all Cameron has got way with being deceptive IE spoke a lot of bull and has gone on to hurt many people since the last election and still remains in power
I dream of the British public getting off their asses and fighting for justice. Unfortunately that’s all it is, a dream.
Just like the top ten list for tax avoiders – it doesn’t exist, however with this government of the two lists the tax one will never exist as it would have too many Tories or their supporters on it.
Allegedly!
