Labour’s army of snoopers

LABOUR’s environmental spokesperson, Frank Dobson, has announced his latest big idea - Fraudwatch. A 24-hour snitchers’ phone service is already running in Reading, which he hopes to extend to other councils.

Your friends and neighbours are encouraged to turn you in for benefit ‘fraud’ - because, as we all know, people on benefit are the big time criminals today, not those parasites at the top of the heap who are raking in the profits while sacking workers.
