Man to face trial for benefits, money lending and prostitution

Tuesday, October 06, 2009, 20:41
A MAN has been sent to crown court to face a range of charges relating to false benefit claims, illegal money lending and prostitution.

Paul Thomas, aged 49, appeared before Plymouth Magistrates' Court accused of obtaining £25,000 in housing and council tax by making false statements.

He is charged with making false statements to obtain housing and council tax benefit on August 2 2005 and January 3 2007.

It is alleged that he said they had no other income or property when in fact they had an income from money lending, from selling games cartridges and that they owned property in Thailand.

Thomas, of Penlee Place, Mutley, has been further accused of inciting a woman to become a prostitute between June and August last year.

He has also been charged with six counts of providing credit without a licence on various dates between 2006 and 2009.

Plymouth magistrates heard that the total amount said to be involved was more than £20,000.

His Thai ex-wife Ratree Jungern, aged 31, formerly of the same address but now living in North Road East, also faces the housing and council tax charges.

She is accused of aiding and abetting her former husband in the unlicensed money lending.
Thomas has indicated 'not guilty' pleas to all the charges.

He was released on conditional bail to appear before a judge alongside his ex-wife on November 16.

Since when owning a shack in Thailand qualifies you as rich ?

Interesting this, technically it would be an offence not to declare a property in Thailand but in reality to have an affect on benefits, some value would have had to be placed on it, or an income derived from it to have any impact on their benefit entitlement. I assume the local authority are involved in this as they pay housing benefit and evidence would be needed to satisfy those who determine such things, that there was no entitlement to benefit.

Lets be honest, everything he is accused of is hardly legitimate, is it? So maybe he's got a stash of cash that he didn't declare as a result of all his activities - that would settle it.

Seems like they're throwing the book at him!

Over 25% of British households are to a significant extent currently benefit dependent as a consequence of NuLabour's policies.
The size of the untermensch class has increased immeasurably since the beginning of their reign in 1997 and has been part of the socialist agenda to change Britain forever including mass immigration to foster a ' classless, pluralist ' society in which government determines everything. Further frightening statistics include the fact that since 2004 7 million people have not been in full time employment and are totally dependent on state aid and 2 million have not worked since Labour came to power in 1997..

A feature omnipresent throughout Britain is the single female parent and 2 - 3 children household entirely funded by the State. Invariably, there is a man on the scene but in order to maintain their full benefits he contrives to live elsewhere although this is usually a deception. The mother cannot work officially lest her featherbedded existence is threatened but prostitution is rife.

Frankly, who cares if a Thai immigrant is in on the act? The country is fucked irretrievably and only an obliteration of the welfare state culture will free the rest of us from our bondage in which the filthy untermensch are supported by our taxes.
