Grass up a lazy dolite and get a share of their assets!!
Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker suggested members of the public who "shop" people or companies defrauding the government, such as benefits cheats or VAT-dodgers, should be offered a percentage of assets seized. Rewarding whistle-blowers would follow a similar system to that adopted in the United States, the so-called Qui Tam approach, where informants can receive between 15 and 25 percent of proceeds in a successful case. The Home Office said such powerful and flexible measures had been "strikingly successful" in America, particularly in the defence and healthcare sectors, with 11 billion dollars (5.5 billion pounds) raised annually. "They would be a novel import into England and Wales," it added, in its consultation paper "The Asset Recovery Action Plan". Every feckin politician in the UK, that's the quickest £100 million I've ever made ;) |
They will do a "Filkin" on you.

Im all for it!
If benefit fraud people know there is a bounty on their heads maybe they'll think twice? |
Fantastic news ......... bring it in - we all hate these scumbags lets grass 'em up and collect nice rewards :thumb:
Could even be worth setting up a little Security Firm of Heavies to patrol Council Estates and collect :D Could be a nice little earner! :thumb: |
In fairness though is this not a slightly unsavoury manner of doing the Goverment's job. There should be measures in place to prevent the workshy and fraudelent amongst us from screwing the system. It's just another directive to divide and conquer the electorate. Infact it smacks of Orwell's 1984, with everyone looking over their shoulders. I know it's a case of 'if you've got nothing to hide...' but seriously there are very few amongst us who are whiter than white. In the immortal words of Wolfie Smith 'power to the people!' or is it?
