I'm sure you, or someone, posted something similar to this about a year ago. 

I’ve posted about it before, if another person has a similarly remarkable situation to me I’d love to hear about it!

I wasn't thinking he wanted to fly tip only that he said no wonder people do because of cost etc

We had a kid at primary school who no one ever heard speak, it became an urban legend that he was mute, but he was part of the fabric of Riverside, everyone knew he just never said a word, he added colour to the playground, a real odd character. Can't remember actually ever seeing him moving but he just seemed to appear in different situations. 

 

We had a very posh supply one day who was doing the register and he obviously didn't say "here / yes" – the gradual meltdown this supply teacher had was ****ing world class, she could not wrap her head around the Riverside Mute, she probably has to sleep with white noise on now just to escape the PTSD she gets from silence

Doesn't seem to be any real mainstream news about it which seems odd considering their size, but Callum from Storror has pleaded guilty to making indecent images.

Probably why there's no big news.

Over 10 million YouTube subscribers, documentary made about them by Michael Bay, they've also developed a video game. They're pretty big.

Not so sure. I'm a long time video game (ie, quite old) player, but outside of Hideo Kojima I'd be hard pressed to name an individual game developer. Companies, yes ... Rockstar, Naughty Dog, Bethsaida, Square Enix... or video game voice actors... Troy Baker, Nolan North.

 

Mind you that should tell you the kind of games I play. Story driven solo games. I guess this is maybe online FPS games?

I'm a bit concerned that the Daily Sexpress (once under the ownership of a porn baron) sees fit to imply that the government is somehow freely facilitating such arrangements with full consent and that it somehow has a platform to be morally virtuous rather than (yet again) massively hypocritical on such matters of morality.

Pretty sure it's making it up as somebody that many years ago used to assess benefit claims

That is the more likely scenario, yes. 

 

Shame the press regulator has either zero teeth or zero inclination or both.

Can’t believe for a second anyone would want more than one wife for any amount of benefit payments.

Report the sub-letting to the local authority (if it's rented out via them or a Housing Association?). If so, he'll not only get done for benefit fraud and the authority/HA can pursue a civil prosecution, but the authority can also (and will probably be successful in) pursue a criminal prosecution.

 

If it's as straightforward as the above, it'll be a pretty easy case to evidence for...

 

He'll have to pay back all that they've gained through the benefit fraud, rent money through sub-letting, let alone the legal costs...

What's a good housewarming present for a family member that isn't boring like a toaster or kettle.

 

After something that's quite interesting and is genuinely useful without maybe being a necessity. Rather it was the sort of thing that's going to last for quite a while too.

 

Any ideas?
