Incredible I've just watched it on BBC iPlayer - this proves that sometimes the poor old licence payer does get something of value out of the BBC.

The bloke with a Normandy Farmhouse, 2 yachts and a council flat in Croydon takes the biscuit plus the chap with the dual identity driving a Bentley with a waterfront pub in Devon :laugher:- I still can't believe it

Go here

I did watch the earlier programme a few months ago where they exposed a dodgy Met Policeman renting out his lovely bijou council flat in Southwark to tourists

if its the same program i watched a while ago, the guy had a couple of council/housing associtaion houses nextdoor to each other, and rented one out and lived in the other :NoNo:

How on earth can this go on, the country is on its knees because of this ridiculous welfare state. This isn't helping people, it's giving them a way of life.

Broken Britain 2011 - one of the prime reasons why I'm an angry man. My wife missed it but just laughed and said "why does the UK allow it ?" when I told her of Bentley and Yacht owning fraudsters.

Joe you wouldn't have seen it before it's a brand new programme I think as a follow up to the one about 6 months ago where they exposed the Gite owning copper (Council have now got the flat back and he's under investigation by them and the Met - in my book he should now be in jail)

I watched a recording of this latest Panorama Benefit Fraudsters programme.
Even though I knew what to expect by reading this thread. It still did not help my blood pressure.
It's an absolute disgrace. :cwm23:
Surely the gov't can invest something to prevent this unbelievably huge hemorrhage of much needed funds. :doh
