Public relations body investigating DWP fake welfare claimants leaflet
I think somebody who wrote examples in the DMG got a bit overzealous and didn’t realise that when you give an example and print it alongside the face of a person, the reader naturally assumes it’s a real case. Whoops.
Kudos to JP007 who called this first on 30/7/15.
I am basking in a warm glow of self satisfaction!

Fake benefit claimant ‘Zac’ quoted in other DWP documents ...

I think we should nominate JC 007 for some sort of public service award (as long as he/she really exists of course!)
Wonderful!
Debbie Abrahams calls for IDS to resign
“What was essentially meant to be an example of advice … ended up going out as a quote – which was quite peculiar and quite wrong,” Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News.
Honing on one call to quit, from Labour’s shadow DWP secretary Debbie Abrahams, he said: “You know, Debbie Abrahams just bangs on the whole time about that and the reality is every time she asks a question, nine times out of 10 she is wrong.”
It was wrong for the DWP to invent fake quotes about benefit sanctions, Iain Duncan Smith says
“Iain Duncan Smith has said fake quotes attributed to benefit claimants created by his department had “nothing to do” with him and were the fault of his civil servants”
“Iain Duncan Smith has said his officials who used fictional claimants to show the impact of benefit sanctions could face disciplinary action.”

He is the minister. This happened on his watch. Whether he likes it or not, he is responsible under the doctrine of Ministerial Responsibility. If he had a single shred of integrity he would go. Unfortunately he doesn’t, so he won’t, and Cameron doesn’t have the guts to sack him.
What a bunch of crooks!
