There is nothing controversial in saying that Benefit fraud is endemic in some areas of the UK and DWP has, intentionally or unintentionally, been complicit through incompetence, lax management standards, poorly educated staff and a host of other reason including failure to investigated suspected fraud by members of certain protected minorities, .
The DWP has also been complicit for years in the utter fraud of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) as we know from cases where perfectly fit people have been caught in activities their claimed disability woud prevent then from doing, (in one case while training for a marathon,), and in the fraud perpetrated by private sector contractor ATOS which disability claims assessment was outsourced, to compliant medics and Lawyers who sold their moral and so called professional souls for the filthy lucre to – very deliberately – deprive some people ( not all for sure ) of help in (often) desperate circumstances; and suicide was not unknown as a result, albeit numerically low.
The whole system is rotten to the core.

Negative Interest Rates & The War On Cash, Part 3: "Beware The Promoters"
Bitcoin and other electronic platforms have paved the way psychologically for a shift away from cash, although they have done so by emphasising decentralisation and anonymity rather than the much greater central control which would be inherent in a mainstream electronic currency. Despite the loss of privacy, electronic currency is much favoured by techno-optimists, but not so much by those concerned about the risks of absolute structural dependency on technological complexity.
Beware the dangers of a cashless society
As the country celebrates tradition and prepares for change, one major shift is closer than ever – our move towards becoming a cashless society.

War On Cash Gathers Momentum - Germany Unveils Cash Controls
On Monday (1 February, 2016) just two days ago, Bloomberg called on the central banks of the world to “bring on a cashless future” in an Op-Ed that calls notes and coins "dirty, dangerous, unwieldy, and expensive."
We can imagine it would be quite easy to harm someone by firing large coins at them from a gun and terrorists could probably stuff an improvised explosive device with small coins rather than nails or nuts and bolts. And if ...
The move by governments to eliminate cash as a means of trading goods and services is moving faster than we imagined. With another global financial crisis looming according to financial journalists and investment experts this is as understandable as it is undesirable for us ordinary punters.
The Financial Times Calls for Ending Cash, Calls it a “Barbarous Relic”

While we the punters shook our heads and wondered how the banksters get away with this kind of shit, The Financial Times published a dastardly little piece of fascist New World Order propaganda.
New Global Crisis Imminent, New Geneva Report Warns
The Geneva Report refers to a “poisonous combination of high and rising global debt and slowing nominal GDP [gross domestic product], driven by both slowing real growth and falling inflation”. The total burden of world debt, private and public, has risen from 160 per cent of national income in 2001 to almost 200 per cent after the crisis struck in 2009 and 215 per cent in 2013. “Contrary to widely held beliefs, the world has not yet begun to delever and the global debt to GDP ratio is still growing, breaking new highs,” the report said.Cashless Society - The Resistance Begins Here

Some of us did try to warn you that all thosefreedom restricting regulations and laws introduced "for our safety" during the hoax pandemic were not really about saving us from a terrible disease that was so lethal 99.7 people who caught it made a full recovery, they were about power and control. Some of the regulations were tests, for example the mask mandates revealed what proportion of the population were willing to challenge authority and refuse to wear masks.
Lockdowns gave the police and courts new powers which they gleefully abused and fortunately the vaccines encountered more resistance than expected in spite of dishonest, scaremongering propaganda,coercive and bullying tactics to make us conform and shameful misreporting of the true figures for infections and deaths by mainstream media.
We also warned the hoax pandemic was just the beginning. Now The Powers That Be have decided that although it was not a total success it revealed enough to convince them the time to launch the second part of their agenda had arrived. Last week The Daily Mirror reported that surveillance is going to the next level. It has taken us a few days to put our analysis online because the news is so significant there were things we had to verify.
The move has been hinted at for a long time, alongside the abolition of cash and the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies we now learn the UK's Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) is drafting legislative measures aimed at reducing levels of benefit fraud, error and debt in the benefits system. The Mirror's report says:
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) could be allowed to look through bank accounts to see where you spend your money under new plans to tackle benefit fraud.
The DWP is currently working on legislative measures to help reduce levels of fraud, error and debt in the benefits system. This was initially set out in the May 2022 policy paper “Fighting Fraud in the Welfare System”.
Some of the potential measures include allowing DWP investigators to access and collect third-party data from banks to see where claimants are spending their money and allow investigators to execute search and seizure orders – so to be able to come into a claimant’s home and take away phones and laptops. Agents could also be given the power to make arrests rather than having to call in the police.
The DWP has just published the results of a public consultation into the plans. The research aimed to explore the acceptability of these potential powers to help inform future policy development, assess communication approaches and build the evidence base on fraud, error and debt. This survey consisted of 2,127 people and of that 618 were benefit claimants.
The results revealed that more than half (52%) of those surveyed found the proposal of collecting information about where claimants are spending money to be acceptable. Overall, 62% saw fraud and error in the welfare benefits system as a big problem, with 18% seeing it as a very big problem – only 3% of respondents did not see it as a problem at all.
Nearly 40% of survey respondents believed that around half of incorrect benefit claims were a result of dishonesty, while 31% thought that “most” were due to dishonesty. Only 17% thought that most incorrect claims were due to mistakes. At the end of the survey, respondents were asked about their overall views on the potential new powers. Well over half (62%) said they were feeling either positive or very positive about them – with only 21% saying they felt negative.’
