she's had previous for assualt it looks like

and she was getting pinched for something else when she told her kids to get rid of her hand bag, which containted 14 stolen bits of plastic

so not your normal sort of "robin hood" type

and then they've thrown in the "stressed by her previous partner" angle for more pity, but fail to elaborate on it

and that she had had a stressfull pregnancy for her last child, who is now a year old

in a previous story where peole have had loads of kids, the figures complied as to what sorts of benifits the lady in question was on were around the £36k a year mark, but i'm not sure if that included the hosuing and council tax benifits into the equation

there is also the fact that she was getting about £100 a week disabaled care allowance for looking after her disabled kid

plus she's apparently got a few grown up kids too

so the question shouldn't be "should she had been sent to clink" the questions hsould be "whee has the money she's been getting gone to?"

a lot of lilly livered liberals have expressed the onion that she might have been living on the bread line and it was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak, the boiler packing up, kids breaking their clothes, etc, but if she's living in a council flat then the council woill have sorted the big things out for her withut it cosing her a penny

i know a lot of people who strugle to survive on benifits, bt this isn't about them, it's about this particular woman who's been done for credit card fraud

and it may not even be as simple as that, these might have only been the charges for the cards she had on her, what baout any others she might have used in the past?

and how the fuck can you spend £350 on shopping on e day and another £250 on shopping later on the same day?!?!?!!?!?

the mind absolutly boggles
