Pin photos of Benefits Cheats to lamp-posts says top DWP Official.
“Terry Moran, a senior official at the Department for Work and Pensions, said he wanted to shame bogus claimants into stopping claiming but admitted his idea was unlikely to be adopted.
Mr Moran is the chief operating officer at the DWP, and is the official “senior responsible owner” of the Universal Credit programme, Iain Duncan Smith’s key benefits reforms.
He told hundreds of civil servants at a conference in west London on Tuesday that he wanted to shame bogus claimants into stopping claiming – but admitted that his idea was unlikely to be adopted.”
No doubt the photos will be handy for the local lynch-mob.
This is the man publicly making this ‘suggestion’ – which in any normal employment would get him the sack, instantly.

Watching a4e
- A lesson in propagandaThe latest exercise in propaganda by combined right-wing forces in this country is a classic of its kind.It starts with a report by the Centre for Social Justice, the "think-tank" set up by Iain Duncan Smith and run by his adviser Philippa Stroud. This is reported in detail by the Telegraph. The phrase "welfare ghettos" is prominent. T […]

This ridiculous suggestion would amount to a hate crime.
Absolutely. It is incitement, and probably as you say, something you could be prosecuted for if you did it on your own.
Suspend Tory politicians and top DWP officials from lamp-posts, say those cheated of benefits.
Do the Tories and their lickspittle lackeys in the DWP never tire of dreaming up new ways of humiliating and harassing the jobless?
This stupid idea indicates nothing more than their pathological hatred of claimants.
He’s right goddammit! I’d stop all benefits apart from pensions! Most benefit claiments have cheated at some point. More than once I’d bet as well!!
Who finances THIS site? Who pays YOUR wages for publishing your left wing tripe!

The Illuminati run us,
“There are many Illuminated groups, with different kinds of secret knowledge. Anything you might say about them (including this) will be false for some of the Illuminati, but true for others, which only adds to the confusion and mystery.
The Illuminati infiltrate and take over organizations of all kinds, from churches to the post office to the corner grocery store, and turn them to their own ends.
They have agents and “sleepers” planted everywhere. Many of these people have no idea who they are really reporting to. Others are active members of the conspiracy, working their way ever deeper into the fabric of society. ”

Really? I thought it was the Priory of Sion. Or are they really…just…OMG…ONE AND THE SAME?
Get me to a library, fast!

David, every time you take a dump you smell a conspiracy
Well if we are going down that route “Cheats,Fiddlers and Gov’t Spongers” Lets start with the MP’s ,Bankers, Inept Civil Servants and Tax Avoiders.
And I forgot the worst thieving Bastards….The Work Programme Providers,what they provide is nothing but Crap!
So who would be printing thses posters? Who would be out on the streets pinning these pictures to lamposts?
Sounds like a public sector job creation scheme to me!
Maybe this bloke Moran is really a fifth columnist?
On second thoughts they’d probably get people on the Community Action Programme to do it.
One step away from giant telescreens screening: “Does a benefit CLAIMANT live in your street?”
Or indeed a new ‘interactive’ television service with a channel devoted to this.
The government’s research has shown mandatory work activity does not help people get a job and that A4e, its flagship “welfare to work” company, has not met even the minimum target for finding work (just 3.5% of its “clients” have found long-term jobs). Yet such companies call for more punishments and for benefits to be stopped more often. The jubilee celebrations saw the scandal of unemployed people made to sleep under a bridge and work in terrible conditions, without pay. It is time to end the real “something for nothing” culture: this means ending the £5bn workfare schemes which subsidise a free workforce for multi-million pound companies and charities. Workfare does not create a single job. Indeed, we have seen it replace paid work. It’s time to start helping people seeking work rather than punishing them. We support the 7-14 July week of action against workfare and call on all organisations to challenge forced unpaid work by boycotting workfare.

The announcement that Holland & Barrett is to withdraw from workfare after being targeted by protesters is another welcome sign that protest works. Its attempt to slur anti-workfare protesters as a violent minority is not so welcome. The real violence is hugely profitable companies making even more money on the back of these labour schemes, while more than a million young people are left to rot on the unemployment scrapheap. Poundland, another workfare exploiter which recently announced profits up 27% to £40.1m, should take note.

Sacked in the morning,you’re getting sacked in the morning…….well,he should be..
i think my provider has claimed a false job outcome from me cos i not been since the start of the wp now.
told provider i found work and will never sign there paper work and signed off and put in a rr weeks later.
had some fishing letter on the 6 month mark come to think about it to go for a 121 n that’s it.
so the provider thinks im working the jcp thinks i go to provider how can they get real figure’s if they don’t even know wtf is going on?
looks like my provider has no system in place or talk to the jcp where i am after mandated and left to the provider after that.
so now all i do is sign every 2 weeks that’s it n keep me trap shut.
1 week i went to the jcp and forgot to sign n they still paid it and signed twice next time, cant sign it if they wont give it to me and its not my job to ask for it either lmfao.
This guy has done what all pollys do,lean over and grab the aptos report. I would like this government to put their money where their mouth is and tell us all exactly how many people are fiddling the dole or shut up as im more than sure that its around at best 10% or worst 20%. They wont of course because they dont have one single clue how many and even if they did, they still wouldnt say otherwise the working public would see the truth behind sanctions.
I wish reporters would ask when a polly says work shy or job snub, exactly who he is talking about and then we can sue him individually for deformation or as a group if he dont as any judge can agree that he definitely was not talking about the working now was he.
With 5 million unemployed we have the money and the power to challenge government in court so we only need a legit cause.
