Should travellers be paid Housing Benefit here when many apparenlty have undeclared property back in Ireland?

If a person is claiming benefit without declaring assets that would preclude their claim then that is called fraud, regardless of the person's cultural or ethnic description.

Perhaps Melvin could be clearer and state if he believes such fraud to have been committed, and if so what is the basis of that belief - or is this one of those 'when did you stop beating your dog' questions?

  • From Chris, 27/04/2012 11:42 am in The maddly twittering twit

    With the games fast approaching, has anyone heard anymore from the Hairbrained Minister on this one of his many explosions in the media?

  • posted Anonymously, 27/04/2012 11:39 am in Does the 'Hastoe Experience' spell the end for Shapps 'Great Idea'?

    The proposal was batty from the outset. More about media column inches than any real positive for housing, but then that describes the Minister rather well I think.

  • From Chris, 26/04/2012 1:04 pm in Housing Action Collapse - the shape of things to come?

    I would tend to agree with you on this Jono. Indeed, from a Christian basis Jesus teaches that if you have something another person needs then you should give it to them, having faith that God will see to your own needs. This is not as silly as some may consider it in an ideal sense because if everyone behaved that way we would each be looking out for each others' needs and nobody would be left wanting.

    Apologies for the missing 'P' - I think someone must have taken it!

  • posted Anonymously, 03/01/2012 1:10 pm in Something seriously wrong with recruitment

    In some cases, departments could have been merged and several managers laid off, and the positions being advertised are for a single manager to oversee a wider area - so the picture may not be as simple as you make out.

  • From F451, 19/12/2011 12:05 pm in Council Housing is not subsidised

    It has always struck me as a little odd how desparate the Blue People are to cling to the notion of subsidy as another hammer to beat tenants with - yet they refuse to digest the fact that the financial arrangement has now been reveresed, or to accept the fact that many other parts of life is subsidised, but because this supports private sector profit appears to be acceptable.

  • From F451, 19/12/2011 11:09 am in Tenancy: where do I stand?

    The other side of these questions is - why were such matters not made clear before the ballot to chose the new landlord (or was there no choice offered, and no ballot taken - so tenants were just treated like so much cattle and sold to their new owners?)

  • From F451, 09/12/2011 4:08 pm in Announcing - nothing

    The other point about this flurry of callers is that people are still game for the something for nothing culture introduced by Thatcher and perpertuated by Blair.

    Council leader Tony Ball, “It is about being involved and getting what is best for the borough because some development of the site is inevitable.”
