The Mail reports a court ruling that benefits overpaid as a result of OFFICIAL ERROR – that’s: OFFICIAL ERROR – can no longer legally be clawed back. Cue vibrating parade of point-missing…
This action is about right for LABOUR. Gordon Brown has no respect for our taxes, anyone can fiddle them or be over paid and do not have to pay them back, or paid back over 77 years. Brown seems to forget the people of this country has to work very hard for the money he is squandering.
BRING ON THE ELECTION to get rid of this incompetent government.
Maggie, Cheshire
You’re right, Maggie. The current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is doing a shit job with these benefits and legal rulings. Instead of personally overseeing every single award issued by the DWP, he should delegate decisions on benefit claims to, ooh, let’s say, civil servants. And maybe he could entrust the application of law to… hey! How about the judiciary?
unbelievable; here’s my wallet help yourself
rob, a taxpayer, chesham, bucks
That’s basically how it’ll work, rob, a taxpayer (I see what you did there ha ha most amusing): rather than simply write off overpayments that have already been made from a pool of public money to which you’ve already contributed, the DWP will send large men called Wayne round to strip your home of valuables, empty your bank account and give everything to the first person they see wearing a tracksuit.
Then they’ll shit in your dinner.
And give that to a tramp.
now if they where politicians they would get off with it
jon uk, uk
There’s a lot of righteous fury in this thread about the expenses scandal. Which is to be expected, given that the expenses scandal has been making the news again recently, what with Sir Thomas Legg very much not letting these bloody politicians get off with it.
Cheers, though.
So who made this mistake? Some idiot cost the nation an absolute fortune. Name?
Rick, Scunthorpe, Lincs
Gordon Brown, forgot to carry the fucking 1 or something, didn’t he? Haven’t you been listening? God.

So is Nick from Scunthorpe the idiot that cost the nation an absolute fortune? I’m confused, is he confessing?
“now if they where politicians they would get off with it”
…
Yup, I can see them all now, sat around having a good old wank into your hard earned bank notes.
That is if we work off the hypothetical assumption that these politicians are the recipients of said benefits.
Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick? Forgive me if your complete lack of punctuation and common sense confuses me.
Phew! I work for the DWP, and just last week I pressed the wrong button and overpaid some people to the tune of £1 billion! I’ve been shitting myself! Thank Christ it’s Gordon Brown’s fault!
Scunthorpe? Is that really a real place?
This person’s surname is “Uk”. That sounds Vietnamese or something to me. Definitely a forrun anyway.
@ Rod
I think ”uk ‘uk’ is the sounds he makes whilst sucking on tiger cocks.
Yes, and in case you were wondering, Rick put the cunt in Scunthorpe.
As I understand it, the DWP overpaid folk and the ruling is that it is the DWP’s mistake and they can’t reclaim any of it, therefore the overpayee’s can keep the money-I think that is a win for the taxpayer so what are these fuckwits moaning about? They must all be from Scunthorpe.
The same should apply if they underpay folk due to, ahem, clerical errors. Fair’s fair.
If they underpay, I expect Gordon Brown himself to crawl over broken glass up my pathway and give me the money from his own pocket (but then I do have some very odd dreams).
Jan Moir has chosen a good day to respond to the pasting she got for her Gately article last week, following Nick the Nonce’s appearance on telly last night, and the mass coverage that’s getting in the press. Atmo from Hull manages to tie the two issues neatly together, which is not bad for someone who isn’t even white.
snigger – Scunthorpe has Cunt in the name. Will never cease to amuse
Is “By the way I am not ”white’” they new “by the way I’ve got loads of black friends”?
Also, Atmo, some troubling confusion with pronouns here. “Our race”? “I am not white”?
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re a bit simple.
Speaking of the thick prick Nick’s TV appearance, how was it? Anything interesting happen?
When I heard that the Beeb were going to show Jack Straw fighting a griffon, I got very excited. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be three politicians and a writer arguing with a short, fat racist.
Admiral, you can catch the whole thing on youtube.
You forgot to mention his glass eye.
Gee thanks Atmo. I thought the noble white race was being pushed out of England because we weren’t dressed like knights and waving excalibur replicas around our heads (sensu EDL). Now I see it because we are all a bit gay. By the way, I’m not “gay”.
Did anyone else notice at the end of the BBC news report that Nick Griffin’s chauffeur had his mobile phone glued to his ear while driving away from TV Centre?
Cassetteboy reveals the truth, as usual:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QAvkFS_cgk
-Atmo from Hull, bollocks, it’s John Adair under a Nome de Plume
I’m now confused, Atmo is siding with Griffin and is looking for white supremacy, and then mentions that he is not white.
Now correct me if I am wrong, Mr Griffin wants to repatriate non white folk, and yet, Atmo agrees with him, so by agreeing, when the large piggy shaped things fly over the moon, the BNP get in, Atmo will have to pack his bags and go and live elsewhere, where the majority rule would not be white. So by his own argument Atmo is out. Does he also wander around Hull with a large sign round his neck saying kick me?
This I feel ads weight to my earlier statement, that this Atmo tosser is the ubertosser John Adair-IF I AM RIGHT
Gainsboroug despite your sarcasm it may come as a surprise to learn that Gordon Brown actually IS doing a shit job.
Prof – really, have you STILL not got the point of this site?
Who or what is ‘Cowles’ mentioned in Atmo’s splendid contribution?
Person – “I had that Cowles in the back of my cab last week”
Place – “We have a little weekend place just outside Cowles”
Disease – “Just had a bad dose of the Cowles”
Animal – “I had a pet Cowles once, but that bastard Atmo poisoned it”
I think we should be told!
Interesting that Nelson has devoted his own site largely to communicating the views of the BNP, but he objects when the BBC ambush Griffin on Question Time.
Yep. Apparently the local council has trouble getting emails out to people, because anti-spam software incorrectly filters as a result of this.
Yes, so next time vote 9% Growth for urine coloured rosettes and Neil Craig’s vast experience calling people fascists and selling comics.
Andrew Cowles, Gately’s widower.
*sniggers* Scunthorpe.
Hull is shit. Send me back where I came from!
Apparently I wasn’t the only one to see this rather amusing take on the red-tops’ coverage of old one-eye’s little stint on Newsnight : http://enemiesofreason.blogspot.com/2009/10/hmm-remember-this.html
… N*il Cr*ig saw fit to use it as a base for churning out his “UN dissecting living humans in Kosovo” bullshit again.
Oh, I laughed. How I laughed.
OMG thanks for that link Mr Poo, just delighted to find myself agreeing with the Daily Star.
Am now planning a one-way trip to Switzerland forthwith. (Methinks.) (But am a little pissed, so will leave booking ticket till the morning.)
I was surprised at this though. What a perfect example of how nasty attitudes coupled with the passing of time can turn you into a really ugly bastard.
Woo, I just stumbled across a nice post on a guardian CIF thread from Andy Kadir-Buxton, for surely ’tis he:
Now that CIF has new-fangled user pictures, Andy also has a picture of himself, fat bald and waering a CND shirt.
This has made my day. (Yes, it has been a boring day.)
Aaaargh, wearing, not waering!
First job of the day: cancelling my CND membership.
…and joining 9% Growth, Spesh.
You know Null Craig can succeed where the rest of the world has failed. Things can only get better.
Atmo appears to be claiming that same-sex unions are preventing whitey from breeding as fast as the outsiders. Does he believe that homosexuality is something that doesn’t happen to people of colour? Perhaps he thinks that gayness itself was manufactured in a lab by leftie boffins and designed specifically to target People Like Him.
There is now, I found, in my attempt to make love making more fun for a partner, that scratching your partners back while making love leads to the lining of the womb being shed.
And it makes their fur all shiny too.
