That I feel a wee bit sorry for this woman?

Telling your children that their dad is dead when he's not is rather apalling, but perhaps thay'd just watched rather a lot of "Reginald Perrin".
(I fully expect zero replies)
I shall subvert your expectations!
Reverse phsycology?
yeah it is wrong
she broke the hearts of her kids and committed fraud. fuck her.
I'd prefer not to to be honest vikkers.
I'm just saying.
insurance fraud
£250,000 is quite a lot
white collar crime is just as bad as blue collar crime and in fact costs taxpayers and governments more (I read somewhere a couple of years ago)
apart from upsetting her kids
this is a largely victimless crime, so I dont know why there is all the fuss
^
People wouldn't care half as much if she had told her kids
don't be ridiculous
it's not victimless. at the most the victims are so numerous as to feel nothing (additional costs on life insurance to cover policies etc.)
and also the 250,000 loss to the policy holder is still going to be felt by them.
what you mean is you don't care about the victims because they engage in capitalist activity.
bluh.
no I said it was 'largely victimless'
because 250000 is hardly anything in the pool of money that is involved in insurance/assurance, also many 'ordinary' 'respectable' people have traditionally bumped up any insurance claim when they have made a claim.....this would represent far more of a dent in the 'victims' premiums.....not to mention fund mismanagement etc.
Since the 'victims' will each individually suffer a fraction of a penny impediment and since thsi is not a common crime, I maintain that I am allowed to call this crime 'largely victimless'
Especially in the greater scheme of things....
oh yeah
sorry. i was on my period.
unrelatedly, you randomly came on my ipod the other day, espousing knowledge following the very first zonino.
thats fine, so am i
by the way what made you drift away from dis? (you used to be so much more present) job? grew out of it?
I only let him out on Wednesdays.
i'm a fully paid
up working member of society without internet at home.
plus everyone here's shit. (lol)
nothing is wrong if you think it
although i think what i just said was wrong so who knows.
i dont feel sorry for her!
and i dont really think claiming 'marital coercion' is a very good line of defence. being a downtrodden wife doesn't make you exempt from the law!
I'm worried that
next time her husband dies, no one will bother going to the funeral. They don't want to be taken for fools.
Come to think of it, loads might go. Could be the year's most amusing event. Think of the comedy value.
More importantly
don't you think she looks a bit like

But more mature?
Also, I don't feel remotely sorry for her.
I love Reginald Perrin

JACK ISNT DEAD
DARREN LIED TO CLAIM THE LIFE INSURANCE
Greedy old witch.
I don't believe a word she says. Fuck her.
yeaaaah
But (and here's the MASSIVELY FLAWED argument of the week) I feel that in some fraud cases the sentencing is pretty harsh compared to other crimes that can wreck lives. For instance, if you look at this
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7493443.stm
the guy's got 9 years. In cases like rape and manslaughter, doesn't the sentence tend to hover around the 8 year mark?
I will be very interested to see how long she's sent down for. I bet it's more than 8 years.
I dunno. Feel free to have a square go. My brain is mushy today.
I agree.
The sentencing for white-collar crime in the US is even more ludicrous.
When I die
I'm going to pretend I'm still alive so that I fool the life insurance company into taking my Direct Debit payment every month forEVER Ha ha ha ha .....Losers!
