Casta Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 1 hour ago, John Wright said: It’s within sentencing guidelines, as applied in IoM with Manx uplift. Remember £1800 prosecution value is vastly exaggerated and is probably a £100 wholesale in Liverpool. Wow! What would IoM street value be?

No wonder one of the taxi companies is advertising that they have "a" female driver who can be called upon "on request" 😵💫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Most of the fines that are reported contain…..to be paid out of benefits..I suspect we would be struck dumb if the total amount of benefits paid out each year were made public. Years ago the Health Service and Social Security were separate am I correct in thinking they are now lumped together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money brought in from income tax doesn't cover the benefits spend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Security used to be under the original DHSS up to 2010. Then the Department was split up and Social Security came under the control of the Treasury where it has remained ever since.
