- According to the DWP – the true figure for claimant fraud for 2011/2012 is actually 0.8%. Who is lying to you, all you out there who have been deceived into believing that everyone is ‘swinging the lead’? How does it feel, to be treated like a mug? Don’t stand for it! Turn on your real enemy! Ask yourselves, why am I being lied to? Is the government defrauding me?

‘Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands far away;
For truth has stumbled in the street,
And uprightness cannot enter.’
‘Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.’
