so stealing from a supermarket, ( which in turn is the reason they put prices up for the rest of us ) is acceptable then? I don't s'pose for one minute that you have ever done cash jobs and pocketed the tax ??? :;):

My point is that when stealing from the government you don't get to choose the amount. He took £24k, I would be willing to bet that he didn't need any of that money. If you steal from a supermarket you can take only what you need.

[seanandruby]

don't matter how you call it, theft is theft.
I'm proud to say i've put food on the table with both methods, food tasted the same.

This guy is ripping off the very safety net that is set up to help those who cant afford shoes, food etc.....

This sounds more like a guy who enjoyed celebrity and lived beyond his means, how many public appearances did he do for tater ash along the way ?. whats the betting he had a top road bike outside his pad ?

Theres no Robin Hood romance to be had there Sean ???

is matt allwright going to be turning up by bus to expose fraudsters and cheats now that his *ride* is locked up?

I hate to see non violent people get sent down but that is the law
A mate of mine is going up to CC in august for growing dope in his spare room
he has been told to expect 18 months to 3 years for his first ever offence
what will society gain from locking up a 50 year old hippy @£1200 per week?
but he accepts that he broke the law and that are the cards he has been dealt
I wonder if mr rausing gets any prison time?
of no i forgot when you are a billionaire, addiction is called a "health issue"
LLL ???

[seanandruby]

if he haf been having loadd of kids, just for the family allowance i would be inclined to agree. But he done what we all do ( in our own little ''justified '' way ), we try and get something we aren't entitled to, if it be the black economy, stealing from supermarket's, cash job's. It's the nature of the beast. As lll says: £1200 a week to keep him banged up. Where's the sence in that, he hadn't draen blood. Robin hood, robin hood, diding through the glen................ :;):

........excuse my spelling, it takes forever to correct it on a mobifone.

Sean, i dont steal then find a way to justify it, thats what criminals do!

[seanandruby]

£85 for 4 nights, or £347 the month up front, single rooms, some shared shwr toilet, bit extra for ensuite. Shared kitchens. Lovely rooms, that's good for heathrow area.

Jail is over the top, I reckon he should be made to do community service for a year or something, pay back the money he nicked and then some. Jail is way over the top for your friend LLL, still think cannabis and mushrooms should be legal.

Sean, i dont steal then find a way to justify it, thats what criminals do!

no, nor i. I justify it first, then find a way to steal, you should try it, it's a great craic :;):
