Hi -

I tried to find info on this, speaking hypotechnically (spelt wrong obviously) i know of a person who has been on the dole for the last 5 years, he is an immigrant and has made very little effort (if any) to find a job. Simply put - a lazy parasite living off his Irish girlfriend.

How can this person get away with it? Naturally its my taxes that pay for him to do nothing. Recently i offered him a job for just one week - 420 cash. Turned it down flat. Asked why. No time! The situation is all more dire especially since the girlfriend has to cover the mortgage, 2 cars and day to day living expenses. They are under financial stress and yes she has told him to get a job, nope he doesnt want to.

She has asked me to try and encourage him to get out there and get some work which i have done, does anyone have any ideas on what to do here...
 
If you have grounds for suspecting welfare fraud then you could presumably report the issue to SW.

As for your friend's arrangements and issues with her partner - surely that's their own business?

Why did you feel it necessary to mention that he's an immigrant? :confused:
 
Trying to explain the situation, being an immigrant does not really help in his case?? Lack of experience in various skills?

His English is a bit poor but he can communicate. Naturally he is fluent in german & spanish so i suggested an office job concerning those languages.

Or even going to a course to do language course in English and learn a trade.
 
Why would you want to employ somebody who you consider "a lazy parasite" sponging off others and the system?

If you offered to pay cash would you not be facilitating tax evasion?
 
Yeah true true - nothing escapes you ClubMan.

I just report him.

As for offering cash - it could not be tax evasion since it is my income? that was already taxed? But thats going off the issue.

Click to expand...

Not only did the OP deem it necessary to mention that the man is an immigrant, he also made sure to point out that he's 'a lazy parasite living off his Irish girlfriend'.
 
You can report suspected welfare fraud anonymously to any Social Welfare Local Office or, indeed, any office of the department. There is little point in ranting about/reporting such things on AAM ...better to tell SW what you know and let them investigate it.
