Working while claiming sick pay

[MercFanUk]

Personally, I think it is morally wrong not to take responsibility for your actions by hiding behind your anonymity. You should man-up and tell her what you've done, and why. This will probably permanently affect her life, she has a right to know.

So, after this potential success, what next? Since you obviously have the time, perhaps you could do something more positive for your community, such as weeding out and dobbing in some of the really bad people out there, people who abuse their kids or spouses, take advantage of the vulnerable, bully, intimidate, willfully damage etc.
Or is it just about the cash?

I've done a fair bit of community work before. Also, all it took was one short email, and then another short email in reply to one they sent me - hardly a lot of time spent.

Why should I say anything to her? To be frank, if she never knows who has let them know, she's more likely to never do anything again as she doesn't know who might drop her in the **** for it. Add to that she's more likely to hide and not actually get caught, wait for it to die down and then carry on as normal scamming away.

Sure, I might end up 'paying for it', but hey - I'm not going to just march up to her and let her know, I'm not looking to win a Darwin award here.

...nothing to do with manning up...only a bully could suggest it was.

I'm not going to rise to that.
Without responsibility in the community, there is no community.
If there is no community, we're all fecked.

only a bully suggests you should have the courage of your convictions?

 

[MercFanUk]

No offence guys, but I have nothing to answer for to her. She's the one who has to do the answering.

If I'd done something wrong to her then maybe, but I haven't.

In such circumstances...yes.

 

[gmanrangers]

do you feel good about it?

do you feel good about it?

I hope he does...he deserves to. I would. This low level contempt from some posters is just nonsense. she did wrong, openly...what else could anyone expect.

 

[MercFanUk]

I do. I'm doing a small part. If everyone did their small part, maybe this country wouldn't be as much of a scum filled dive as it sometimes appears to be.

glipe/clipe rules no doubt

You are your brothers keeper or not in this case

 

[MercFanUk]

What would you prefer Wes, everyone helping each other scamming, or everyone helping keep everyone on the straight and narrow. I'd prefer everyone on the straight and narrow myself - a world full of deceit and petty crime isn't a very nice sounding place to me - in fact that's pretty much what we already have.

Any reason for sticking up with people who are being unlawful?

Had to Google that. Good one.

So did I...:

From Wikipedia:

'A glipe is also a fool but yin wae a bit mair wut nor the gype, so admonishments proffered to the glipe ("Gimme that here, ye glipe ye") are done in a spirit of helpfulness, an attempt to improve the glipe. There is also a hint that the glipe, having a bit mair between the lugs, might be capable of logical behaviour. Which bring me to a "clipe", not quite a homophone but nearly. A clipe, (sometimes rendered as clipe-clash) is a tell-tale, a nark. The term is mostly associated with the schoolyard but can be applied in wider contexts but always conveying the same meaning. I think there is a decent research project to be done to determine whether a gype is mair laikly tae clipe on a glipe or whether the glipe might clipe on the gype. A deep Ulster Scots philosophical dilemma!!'

(Google Translate failed to detect the language, though )

Glipe isn't a Scottish word. Gype (for fool) is. Why would we have two words meaning the same and sounding the same?
Clipe is a Scottish word though.

Clipe, as you say is Scottish, Glipe isn't (as you also said) but no one claimed it was. I think you'll find glipe is peculiar to Northern Ireland, ot more correctly, the Province of Ulster, which is 3 counties bigger than Northern Ireland.

Never heard of Gype.

One aspect overlooked connected to the anonymous reporting of her is, if she genuinely doesn't know who did it, that she won't know who she can and cannot trust. Hurrah you cheer, but that distrust will now be felt by all. Do good consequences flow from distrust? Everyone's a suspect now, and if she is bitter at being reported we had better hope she doesn't blame another.

On the other hand, she's (allegedly) a fraudster, so can anyone trust her? If not, why should she have luxury of being able to trust others...

 

[renault12ts]

A member on the other side has just posted a thread about a citizen's arrest he made last night having witnessed a drunk bloke vandalise several cars in his village.

Whilst this was dangerous because of the other friends involved and the fists flying etc...I congratulate him...but advised caution the next time. The police duly arrived and the perp. was arrested.

Should he just have ignored it (as some on this thread would no doubt advocate) or was he right?

 

[poormansporsche]

What a load of Tosh, mercfanuk don't let it bother you. If you are happy with your actions so be it. Counting yourself a good person is the best you can hope for in this life

My point was that it's not about her anymore. How do you like being mistrusted? Suspected of doing something you didn't.

Take your ridiculous assumptions and start a new thread. With your agenda you'll have us turning a blind eye to cold blooded murder next.

. Counting yourself a good person is the best you can hope for in this life

Not to be confused with merely thinking you are one.
