    Didn't the Stasi do something similar? Anyone looking at a new occupation as a full time informant?!

    If I shop myself and get fined £200, can I also claim the £500 - £300 profit

    That's using your initiative that is.

    I'm concerned that enemies of the state will not all be caught however if you only shop yourself.

    Bloody great idea - did they give a phone number?

    What some of you liberal do-gooders seem to be forgetting is I'm losing out on rent whilst these scrots have their mates living there for nothing and we're all losing out on the council tax.

    Shop 'em now!!!

    Don't worry. Aslong as you live off benefits and sponge off the state this won't effect you so keep voting Labour.

    If you provide something to this country but try to save a few quid a month on council tax or rent your gaff out you're going straight to hell.

    It's a well known and world-wide joke that Britain loves Loser's.

    I have a personal belief and motto about life in the UK:

    “You either have everything and ask for nothing, or you have nothing and expect everything. However, the man in the middle who has neither, pays taxes for both”

    You can shop them anyway - you just won't get paid.

    Neighbours being paid to spy on each other is something nobody in their right mind wants. This Government gets steadily scarier as the months go by. The GE can't come fast enough.
    I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. Though when my sister brought Doug home I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So there was two of us in the wolf pack. And six months ago when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought: "wait a second could it be?", and now I know for sure I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine.

    cancel the outrage bus.
    Only applies to social housing i.e some people get a council house sod off on "holiday" filling it with illegals who with pay cash so profiting both ways

    one little git got a flat through homeless programme (although proved himself unable to manage a room in a hostel )
    promptly rented it to crims who turned it into a cannibis farm
    only got found out cause I poped round with some post for him
    On a Hot morning in cyprus I found the meaning of anger. Fortunataly I was comftably numb.
    The RSM and various other NCO's seemed very agitated.
    maybe they should look into counselling?
