Nicola Fisher (again)

[flip_flop]

Given that this fit and able 35 year old woman who chooses not to work has just received a �50k windfall, what are the chances of her paying back all the benefits she has ponced off of us over the years?

Failing that, as she has just trousered �50k, will her benefits be stopped?

[sqad617]

Ethel said that her benefits will be stopped.

[funnygirl]

Well that is good news!!

I read in my paper that the neighbours were surprised at her going to London as she was supposedly a 'peaceful' person!

[ailie]

should I know this person?

[Ethel]

Her benefits will be stopped in the same way as that wife swap woman lost her benefits when she got paid for topless photos.
She said (and proved) she had given the money to charity, but it was pointed out to her that while she is on benefits it is not hers to give away.

[jake-the-peg]

Alie she was the woman filmed being beaten across the legs by a policeman during the G20 demonstrations.

The papers have gone out to discredit her in any way possible in a bizarre attempt to support the police.

It seems that in some people's minds the level of violence the police are entitled to use is dependant on that person's employment status

[sqad617]

jake......I take your point, but very rarely do you get professional people, artisans and folks who have jobs to do, get involved in these sort of fracas.

Can't think of any, can you?

[Ethel]

squad - the only one I can think of is Bryan Ferry's son.

[sqad617]

Ethel.....I have heard of Bryan Ferry, and his son,but I have no idea how he contributes to life.........has he got a job?

[Ethel]

Is Master of the Hunt a proper job?

[sqad617]

Ethel...who is Master of the Hunt, Bryan Ferry or his son.

[chickx]

many of these people are at these protests to cause trouble and i wouldn't be suprised if there are people who go there with the sole purpose of trying to get a claim off the police or other authorities.

[sqad617]

chick.....if they didn't, they certainly will now.

[ummmm]

Her bruise wasn't even that bad. I have a better one on my leg from tripping over and landing on the coffee table.

[Ethel]

Squad - Otis, the son

[123everton]

The police can avoid unecessary compensation claims by staying calm and being professional.
I'm certain her benefits will be stopped, and she certainly can't claim on the sick as she appeared quite fit and well at the time of the assault, plus she's hardly crippled now.
The phrase "in rude health" seems very appropiate for her.
I still say though, that the police behaved unprofessionally in this and the other incident, look at it in comparison to the Rangers fans in Manchester last year, and then perhaps you'll understand.

[danchip]

the police have an incredibly difficult job to do in these circumstances, surrounded by hundreds of people being aggressive and trying to cause trouble, damage property etc.

Slapping the woman was wrong but pushing a guy out of the way or hitting a woman on the legs with a truncheon is using reasonable force against someone who is posing a threat, if they did not want to be hit or pushed by the police they shouldn't have put themselves in a situation where it could happen

[jake-the-peg]

Agreed the police have a difficult job.

That job is to apply the law equally and fairly regardless of who they are dealing with

Whether the person is an Judge, a newsagent or an illegal immigrant the level of force they are permitted to use is the same.

Professional people are normally have quite little to protest about the exception probably being the countryside alliance protests in 2002

The �50k she's pocketed is only the start - Mr Clifford will see that she becomes a "cause celebre" and she'll end up with no credible reason to ever have to leech off the taxpayers again (Notice I haven't said she "won't").

I'd imagine it would take Social Services about a year to get around to actually stopping her benefits, don't you?

[sqad617]

Folks......what if she develops agrressive malingnant disease of the cervix (God forbid) we may be looking at another Jade Goody scenario, especially if Max Clifford is involved.
