Benefit cheats could face up to 10 years in prison as part of the Crown Prosecution Service’s new “tough stance” on those flouting the system.

Keir Starmer QC, Britain's most senior prosecutor, said the £1.9 billion that benefit and tax fraudsters cost the taxpayer every year must now influence lawyers’ decisions on whether a prosecution was in the public interest.

Announcing new guidelines for the CPS, the Director of Public Prosecutions said suspects can now be charged under the Fraud Act, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

In the past, benefit cheats have often been pursued under specific social security legislation which carries a maximum term of seven years.

A financial threshold which prevented benefit fraud cases of less than £20,000 from being sent to crown court will also be abolished, the CPS said.

Mr Starmer said: “It is a myth that 'getting one over on the system' is a victimless crime: the truth is we all pay the price”.

He added: “It is vital that we take a tough stance on this type of fraud and I am determined to see a clampdown on those who flout the system.“

Starmer is totally fucking cancelled.. worra cunt!

^^
that is from 2013

He’s an Arsenal season ticket holder as well.

as someone who committed benefits fraud many times in the 90's and just about every time a company I was at went into liquidation and I was in between f/t employment I say fuck off and die tory bryl-creem boy!

don't even want to see the oily creep in the shadow cabinet now.

it underlines how terrible most of the PLP are, some of the vilest fucking people only in the party by chance or there wasn't enough room in hell the conservative party.

Labour has its share of problem members, but these are mostly either thick as pigshit pseudo-lefty cranks or just plain old casual racists. But these people are active pro-Hitler neo-facist extremists ffs! Quite a story a here if our usually ever so vigilant Fourth Estate could wake up!

let the groundless slurs and character assignations begin.

Although really I'm not opposed to ruling with iron fist, because Corbyn was way too soft on these melt wreckers.

When I look back on my illustrious career of benefit fraud I was poor as fuck 90 odd % of the time. There was a period where I was signing on and earning £120 a day cash in the johnny rocket. But fuck you forever Starmer, for saying I deserve a 10 year sentence you piece of of Tory human garbage ..seriously!

He's basically Osborne but ended up in Labour because he's from a lower middle class background and with less "charisma". Complete fucking cunt.

he's like one of them bottom feeding fish that pretends to be dead to put off predators

but of course the current melt discourse is: has he got memorable slogans, message discipline etc.. etc.. that is the point where I just give up and say fuck you all tbh.

happy x-mas to all as well! The equal distribution of baby Yoda amongst the classes is meeting targets- so much to look forwards to:p

surely you aren't allowed to transport rotting cadavers in the passenger seat of a car?

xp lool!

gasp! some self deprecating humour from Swinson has just totally wrong-footed me tbh. I'm in shock!

that’s not self-deprecating humour, that’s a chilling reminder that her thirst for squirrel blood will never be quenched

We have a whippet around here with a blackboard tally for Russell Square squirrel kills.

swindon has a flip-chart covered in tally marks at lib dem hq iirc

A 27 yo British medical student performed a Nazi salute at horrified plane passengers.

He is heard telling another passenger: "Your job is to be the Ni***r of the world", "Sieg Heil!" and "Untermensch" (subhuman in German).

The world should know about this freak.

there has been a lot of incidents like this recently, no doubt related to having the most racist PM in decades. But we least we saved the UK from the anti-Semitic allotment man.

I would also suggest these are getting more 'retweets' and shares than previous

so not a spike in racist hate incidents you saying? I'd put money that statistics will later back up that there has indeed been a post-election spike. Just as there was when the US a elected a Klan man.

No, I'm not saying that.

(which is why I said 'also')

surely you aren't allowed to transport rotting cadavers in the passenger seat of a car?

im sure ive told the story about the lad from down home who was in his bollix going to pay the quoted price for his uncle to be shipped home from london post mortem, and went and got him, put him front seat in the escort and took him home on the ferry

lol.. how on earth could you. My mum used to take photos of corpses at open coffin funerals - I could never work out the motivation to do that!

the open coffin is a fuckin curse for sure, brr no thanks

51 years old and as far as I recall I've never seen a corpse irl

Lads ye are weak horses, I’ve never been to a closed-coffin funeral

only corpse i've seen is Lenin's iirc

appropriately enough

I saw my first corpse I was about 6 or 7 when a young boy from the traveler's site was pulled out of the lock, but this was from a safe distance. Once there was a suicide on the train tracks and the bizzies did a really shit job of cleaning up all the remains and quite a few from my estate were going on grim pilgrimages to them and poking this stuff with a stick and saying "woooy!!looks like summat I just had for my tea" etc..

Saw all the dead popes they have under the Vatican in the Necropolis in St Peters basilica.

So, the only corpses I have seen are all popes.

I'd drag every one of them papal cadavers out of that crypt and give them a piece of my mind for all the wrongs they've done!

I can't remember where I read this grimly hilarious account of the bodged embalming of Chairman Mao that haunts my thoughts. There weren't no experts about and all they had to go on was some borrowed embalming instructions from the Soviet Union or something. They totally fucked it up and made him look like a bloated green sea bass or something and you get the sense of panic they must have been feeling as were trying to correct this fuckup before some party officials would have them shot!

yuurgh! *runs while endorsing rlb*

I'm struggling to fit a medium crown turkey in my shitty oven. Don't know the long-pig is going to fit in there ffs.

this has been a cruel year in many respects but continually teasing the deaths of one or more royals and delivering zero was especially irritating

Year’s not over yet, you seen the pics of undead Phil?

feel like he can keep that up for a decade tbh

adrenochrome is a helluva drug

By that difficult 9th season of The Crown he will have been a grateful recipient of the first successful body transplant.

he can have mine, i can see i'd be trading up

The Mao embalming story is from 'The Private Life of Chairman Mao: The Memoirs of Mao's Personal Physician' by Li Zhisui, pretty grim book with memorable bits with him never brushing his teeth (just swilling it out with green tea) and only "washing" his penis in virgin teenage peasant girls.

The maosoleum in Beijing still claims to contain his body, not a waxwork, but in my 8 years there I never managed to get up at 6am to go check it out.

Yes, it's an excellent read is that. Oh fuck, that comment on his genital hygiene.. Hideous man!

His reasoning for not brushing his teeth was that tigers don't do it iirc
