    You were bound to have one, eventually. Some on here had lost hope in that ever happening but I was always on your side, well done!

      Vetran did a version of that joke yesterday.

      Not that that should worry you, it’s not the first time in your life you’ve been told you’re slow and unoriginal...

        Did he now? Perhaps you should ponder the common denominator.

          Neither you nor Vetran aren't the sharpest tools in the box?

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Which was the point BR14 was making.

                  According to this fraud overpayments stood at 1.5% in 2017. -- hmm we believe that from a government that couldn't find its arse.

                  The majority of claimants are not abusing the system. -- quite probably but a significant minority are.

                  yeah right benefit fraud is common (I can name a few) and we need to import millions of people to do work we pay people too many benefits to do so we have near full employment.

                      Not sure how you draw that conclusion from the figures, but then True Believers are rarely swayed by unimportant things like facts.

                      Hmm. You know the plural of "anecdote" is not "data". Perhaps you just associate with very dodgy people? Or have a contract in a fraud benefits department!
