Not good

 

:confused:

 

You're terrible.

 

Honestly, it influences meaning. Please at least try using full stops. And short sentences. As I do.

James Plaskitt, MP, Housing Benefit and Anti-Fraud Minister

“Our investigators have more powers than ever before – if benefit fraud is suspected we can check bank statements, household bills and, if necessary, carry out surveillance. We are also using increasingly sophisticated methods in tracking suspected benefit thieves. The recent introduction of Voice Risk Analysis (VRA) technology is another weapon in the battle against benefit fraud.

“Members of the public also have a part to play. They regularly help to identify benefit cheats by reporting them to our national Benefit Fraud Hotline. Calls to the hotline show how strong public support for our fraud campaign is. During 2005/6, more than 200,000 calls were received.”

 

 

Punishments have got tougher – criminals can face jail and also have to repay any money stolen. Prosecutions have risen since 1997 from 12,000 to more than 52,000 in 2005/6. Benefit fraud investigators have strengthened powers, lie detectors are being trialled in benefit offices and a ‘No ifs, no buts’ campaign is intended to reinforce the message that fraud is a crime.

Is it working? A recent report by the National Audit Office (NAO) found that the government wrongly paid out £2.7bn on fraudulent and incorrect claims in 2005/6, prompting criticism that ministers have not yet got on top of the problem. The NAO confirmed some improvements had been made in tackling fraud, but that official errors are still a major concern.

Yes, and I always think majority opinion, specially of Daily Mail readers, is the way to go. I mean, why employ experts when we can ask the uninformed majority what they think?

U could ask all U like, but whether U would accept an answer that doesn't fit your pre-conceived opinion, would make my reply irrelevant.

Oh, it didn't quote back. English, but not grammatical.

 

Still, I'm sure you got the ellipsis.
