The fault lies completely with the government. It should be embarrassing…from what I’ve read 51% of the UK gets welfare. That’s a staggering amount.

If somebody is caught subletting in a council house, they should immediately go to jail and pay all the restitution of the money that they have collected half the time. They don't do this. They just give 'em a warning and a bill. It's time to do your job and put him in jail end of story

Does anyone know who the woman from St.Neots is???

As I understand it, in America, you have to requalify every year.

They always come after the poor who are just trying to survive. They never go after the rich who are doing fraud everyday

Clowns he's not going to get away with it he did no prison bet he didnt pay the fine these people are a joke bellends

Well he did get the better of them many times they act like hero's they are a bunch of clowns who never get any money back you want to make money do this easy money jokes

Interesting that this would be on public television when I think it’s more common for politicians to be corrupt than people grifting a couple hundred from government benefits here and there. What about the the rich people using tax shelters or people in charge of non-profits actually profiting quite a bit through government payouts. That’s a much larger scale grift. Obviously the people on this show are in the wrong. Definitely not cool at all to take social housing set up for disabilities. There are never enough council houses that are disability friendly to begin with so it’s really scummy to take one and then not even be there. It’s wrong on a deeper level to take from the disabled than the partners trying to grow some weed on a quick come up. That’s more plain stupid than it is malicious.

vote refrom ! 2029

sounds like ragi was not processed professionally by 'said housing officer' !!!

😂 the Nigerian guy was a character

I would always be waiting for the knock on the door if I was one of these cheaters..

That white woman is a parasite

Pleas tell me you go after cheats for every cent they have stolen, the only way to punish them..

Does that vile woman and her husband get to pay the money back that they stole..

I would abolish full housing benefit because people don't look after the properties if they don't have to pay nothing in rent

Council housing should only be for 5 years and then be returned

In the usa we have over 300 MILLION PE people. We DO NOT have a housing crisis.

Programmes like this haven't aged well under the new Marxist regime.

Those poor cats😢

Was the overstayer deported?

Council should seize the cafe and house

There are more people who for one reason or another do not claim the benefits to which they are entitled than those who make fraudulent claims. Channels like this one exacerbate the situation by increasing the stigma of being "benefit dependent".

House all the boat people for free.

I looked into buying a council and housing association property and I was shut down. The housing association company said to me that they had sold 1 property in the past 15 years. So now I believe that when they say loads of ppls are buying up social housing that's why there is a shortage, it's a massive lie!

I have 7 children in a 3 bedroom council house . I am not moaning . Im glad i have a roof over there heads. I make do with what i have .

I am grateful for the council , by helping me find a home for me and my children. Homes are so desperately needed . Hand it back if you do not need it anymore.

We sold our house and moved to a council estate and i love it here

We are kiwis. My son moved to london last year on a youth mobilty visa. And hes already paid more tax into the uk system than almost all of these crooks

This is disgusting. My cousin who lived in West Drayton (Hillingdon) was actually disabled and waited 11 YEARS to get an apartment that was suitable for her. She is paralysed down one side of her body since birth and the apartment she got has damp which the council is taking ages to fix. Unbelievable that the councils don’t doa thorough background check and it’s the people who suffer. Disgusting.

18:55 she is clearly telling the truth. I hope your doing well Angela ❤️ the council let you down 😭

Common theme with these scammers isn't there 🧐

He said he was British.?? I bet he had a scouse accent. They were shocked by the level of deception. I’m shocked by the level of incompetence.

This woman is talking about decorating -and she’s broke depending on tax-paying citizens. How entitled! This is gross!

So do the offenders go to prison - or continue to screw the government?

The “investigators” seem to be unable or unwilling to string two words together.

Why have a child without having a roof of your own , sickening

There seems to be an awful lot of people employed by the public sector, who are working their butts off doing their jobs with diligence. While many people who are not in investigation, are pinching property they are not entitled too. Civil Servants don’t have to do their job properly.

Tip of the iceberg for thieves. Took my mother, twelve years and letter from her employer saying he was ejecting her in order to get a flat. Totally British!!! 😮

It’s just embarrassing that they’re trying to put a positive spin on the end of these fiascos. How are they not too ashamed to show their faces??

Scottish but her first language is Turkish.??? Need to stop dual citizenship it leaves the country open to exploitation Happens here in Australia also people who become citizens get all the benefits then spend 6months in there home country also. Spending there benefits.

That is not even a Scottish name

The right to buy should be abandoned...Thanks Maggie.

cant write in English?why considered?

😊so what exactly did you crackdown on?

People are so nosy, allow the council to do their checks why yall gotta snitch? This is why I hate some neighbours they just watch your business, no privacy and then they have the audacity to smile with you the next day 😴

They have the property back, what about the hundreds of thousands of pounds this Jamaican character swindled!!! That lady got 18months prison, what about the 18000,00 she stole.

This woman had been claiming for 9 years!!! and was a failed asylum seeker!!! How did she get a British passport!!!. Overhaul of the system is needed ASAP. Disgusting when there are BRITISH people waiting for homes, disabled people struggling to get their legal benefits. No wonder this country is a dustbin for illegals and the worlds cast offs. Maybe checking birth certificates against death certificates would be a good idea to start with.

only 2 years thats a joke ,for what he did

What so hard about helping widows orphans ,and sick. My family came England 400 years ago and whole different system .If homeless and poor you ship off to colonies to work in slavery for 7 years and after receiving 50 acres and seeds,worked out well for us colonists.
