Interesting UK Govt statistics Fraud on PIP, 0%. Attendance Allowance 0%. Disability Living Allowance 0.1% Employment and Support Allowance 1.5% Carer’s Allowance 3% Housing benefit 3.9% Pension Credit 3.9% Why is Govt taking powers to snoop 24/7 on bank accounts of all benefit recipients?

A private equity firm just bought £1.6 BILLION worth of the NHS. It will make bigger profits by hiking rents for hospitals and NHS facilities. Previous govts privatized the estate. That means less money for frontline healthcare. NHS already drained by PFI and private contractors.
