DWP Proposing To Scrutinize Bank Accounts?

Oh, it's your turn today, Germanshepherdsmum!!

I sent another poster a tube of arnica cream after her bruising.

Yes, my turn for a tongue lashing today.

Doodledog I have looked back, nothing in my post links it to any of your posts. I do not mention your name and everything I refer to has come up in several other people's posts.

More generally the government, in the form of HMRC, and DWP, to name but two, already have such extensive access to our affairs, if not directly, through all those bodies paying money into them, that the new regulations make very little difference. Were anyone be subject to a forensic interest in their affairs, what other reason can there be than crime, espionage or terrorism?

M0nica I have no desire to make this molehill into a mountain .

Nevertheless, as I said, my point is not that there is a reason now for me to be concerned (apart from a desire for privacy), but that we don't know what might happen in the future.

flip = short form of flippant. It was a flippant para.

Thank you M0nica. That makes sense.

Doing a quick search simply to confirm to myself that this really is how you discuss and debate, that I was not mistaken, is hardly stalking Germanshepherdsmum.

I still think that saying anyone is paranoid is a step too far.

The issue lies with a new law M0nica. If it changes nothing, why do you think they passed it?

Because they can and they are paranoid that the poor are always trying to screw the benefits system, while failing to notice that ll their rich cronies are doing it all the time for much greater amounts.

I certainly haven't seen a better answer M0nica.
