Tony McNulty anti-fraud minister!

In larger cases of benefit fraud, statements are regularly issued in Mr McNulty's name.

Here's the latest, from the Northampton Chronicle & Echo -
Anti Fraud Minister (sic) Tony McNulty said: "Benefit thieves have to understand that they will not get away with it.

"Working together with local authorities and the police we have a strong range of powers to investigate and with the support of the public we bring benefit thieves to justice.

"When people commit benefit theft, they face imprisonment, fines and other penalties. We will also make sure they pay back the money they have stolen from the taxpayer and seek to ensure any proceeds from their crime are confiscated too."

Or in other words, we need the money to give it to foreigners.

I know a benefit thief who is a foreigner (and a bogus refugee).

Tony McNulty must repay the full £60,000 and not simply the £13,000 recommended by the Public Committee on Standards. Remember that one has to earn at least £100,000 before tax to take home £60,000 - this means Tony McNulty actually stole £100,000, not £60,000. He must quit his post as MP for Harrow East (where he's done little good and keeps sending these stupid leaflets about how he will continue to improve the Borough - more like how he will continue to milk the system). What does Tony McNulty take us for? We are NOT going to let him carry on as an MP for Harrow East! And by the way, I hope Scotland Yard takes this case seriously now that the Committee on Standards has ruled against Tony McNulty! No more milking the system Tony - just repay the full £60,000 + interest at the court's judgment rate and then get a civilian job and we'll see how long you last in the private sector!
