Is this really snide of me?




It's none of my business, right? Or is it?

I loved my lawyer though. Charged lots of £££££ which the tax payer is paying for. Love legal aid

Legal Aid is no longer available for people on low incomes thecook which makes the act of reporting even more reprehensible imo.

So people go to prison and children end up in care with ALL the associated costs and dubious outcomes for care and prison-leavers and the reporters genuinely think they are saving taxpayers money for something which may have been twenty pounds a week more than tax credits would have given.

Compared to the thousands per week it takes to keep someone in jail or care.

All righty hmm

See this would piss me off. I earn just over minimum wage, and I pay my tax and national insurance every month.

She is working, earning and not paying tax. Where is that fair? To echo what an earlier poster said. If everyone paid what they should do in tax then everyone's tax bill would be reduced.

I wouldn't simply because you don't know if it is true.

As MrsD has pointed out, malicious reporting a can be very distressing and damaging to the person reported.

I can see why the idea of it annoys you OP and don't think anybody is entitled to steal to benefit themselves. However without cast iron facts it's just gossip and could be awful for this woman and her family. If she's going to start declaring anyway, just let her do that.

1) you sound very unpleasant
2) you clearly don't understand how legal aid actually works.
