I'm loving the story of this thick Manc bint who invented 7 kids in quick succession in order to claim benefits, and actually walked away with £40k before the Feds caught up with her. Apparently she invented quads, and at one point rang twice in six days to say she'd dropped another, and not one check was done on her at the time.
The Inland Revenue said that they give out the brass on a trust basis, often because the applicant is desperate for the money. Maybe so, but surely their systems would have picked up the most pregnant woman in history as she slept on a bed of fresh twenties. Ridiculous.
She's gone down for 10 months in what is being seen as a landmark case and an opportunity for the authorities to put the frighteners on other potential cheats. Fair play, says I, especially when her defence suggested her sister-in-law had come up with the scheme in exchange for a cut of the profits. Nobody in the world is that big a victim, where they're forced to make up kids and live of the affluent returns. Sorry love, you were caught bang to rights.
What's the betting she phones from her cell in a few days cos she's up the duff again?
