      She should have to start paying it back when she gets out, from her state pension…..otherwise it’s not really justice.

      Prison is right for violent offenders, but frauds like this woman should have to work for the state for a while to make amends – though it’s such a large amount of money I doubt she’ll ever fully repay it.

    2. They’ll be out in a few months. Seems like crime does pay.

    3. Steal £270,000 from the government and you go to jail, steal £200M+ and you get to keep the money

      Prevention is better than cure and it looks to the untrained eye as if this fraud could have been detected and stopped right at the outset. From the linked story:-

      >*Lloyd’s con first began in February 2012, when she started to claim housing benefits from West Lancashire Borough Council in relation to a caravan on a site at a “fictitious address” of Riverside Walk in Southport.*

      A simple and, one imagines, easily computerised check on that address could have stopped Lloyd in her tracks.

    5. > Phillips meanwhile helped himself to £100.980.71 in false claims for employment support allowance, PIP, housing benefit and council tax reduction over a period of around five-and-a-half years from April 2018 onwards

      This is obviously fake. This sub routinely tells me that there is 0% benefit fraud with PIP.

      All well and good but explain how it’s so straightforward to charge and imprison “normal people” for fraud when Michelle mone and her husband steal millions and relax on yachts. Grant shapps mate gets gifted multi million pound contracts and it’s business as usual.

      There will come a reckoning

      Not gonna lie, the first thing that entered my head was *that* moment from Troll 2…

      I’m thrown by the fact she worked for Tesco under a fake name, how on Earth was that possible? Did she have a dodgy NI number?

      I don’t care what disabilities you have, you fucking lied and stole taxpayer money… zero sympathy from me

      We’re all struggling to varying degrees; disabled and low income people need help and from what little we as a country afford them you think you’re entitled to a larger share? 

      This is what enables politicians to cut these programs and convince people that all people on benefits are cheats, (meanwhile they hand that money straight to their family or friends…. )

      What self defeating pieces of shit.

    10. 2 years for £270*k*

      Now let’s see what happens to Michelle Mone who took £200*m*.

      (and that’s ignoring the aggravating factors that she was in high public office, used that public office as part of the swizz, did it to profiteer at a time of national crisis, weakened the protection of front line medical staff, lied about it repeatedly, etc etc etc)
