    Pin photos of benefits cheats to lamp-posts to shame them, says top DWP official

    Pin photos of benefits cheats to lamp-posts to shame them, says top DWP official - Telegraph

    says Terry Moran, whose salary in 2011 was £169,000.
    <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

    Maybe we can stick posters of bankers round Canary Wharf too

      Mr Moran said 'If I had my way, benefit cheats would be put in stocks so the public can throw rotten fruit at them. But it's not likely to be adopted'

        Tax dodgers and benefits cheats should be given a days community service for every pound sterling they stole from the public purse.

            They have no shame.

            Perhaps someone creative can think of a different way of using lamposts to deal with bent bankers.

              .
              How about using bankers to bend lampposts?

                There was a lad in my hometown who used to kidnap cats and torture them. Once someone found out who it was, they gave him a good kicking, and tied him to a lamp post with a sign around his neck saying what he'd done.

                It appears the Police didn't go anywhere near him for 4 hours. He got a fearful kicking. Ah, policing in the 70's...

                Maybe we can organise something along those lines...

                  Great idea. A country full of bent cops and justice.

                    How were they bent MF?

                    I was too young to partake, but understood quickly about rough justice. The Police also allowed some fights to go well past the handbag stage, as they understood how things worked in a small market town. Kudos in my book.
