There's a market place for modern day samurai, I reckon.

 

Akcherly I was seeding the feeding grounds. The smiley was a fuckup.

 

How about taking out the North Wales Police HQ? preferably while the
chief **** is at his desk with the helicopter parked outside.

 

It's safely in Tamworth at the moment.

 

Did you see him named as "Enemy of the State (of petrolheads)" on Top
Gear last night. Brought a smile to my face, that did.

 

IIRC, what makes it even worse is if the mother is on benefit she doesn't
even get the money taken from the father's salary. Just the standard
benefit.

Nothing PC or moral to it. It's all about reducing the benefit bill.

 

Axe to grind? Any proof of this or is it just a supposition?

Hmm... well given that the punishment is simply passing monies from the
absent father on for the good of the children...

I'm consistently amused/angered/concerned about the attitude of some
fathers to their responsibility for their offspring (present company
excluded of course). It seems that many assume that just because their
relationship has broken down they shouldn't have any responsibility to
fund their childrens' upbringing and that it's reasonable for this to be
the responsibility of the state.

 

They try to, I've been there.
It is unbelievably 'illegal' but enforced.

But if the CSA get involved and the father is paying Z to the ex by
agreement or court decision plus she also receives benefits. Then the
CSA up the amount to 2xZ they then stop the benefits to the ex by 2xZ so
she is worse off and the system benefits.

It doesn't work like that.

I had a one time payment agreement established by the courts where I
gave my ex moneys to pay for a house in full and I picked up her debts.
I also paid to support the kids on a monthly basis by direct debit.

After 5 years with the ex violating the agreement over custody and
access she buys a car(?) and gets into debt. Ex F-i-L tells her to go to
the CSA. They cancel the courts legal agreement and demand moneys from
me with threat of legal action, on the grounds that I haven't paid on a
regular basis. (Note it was by direct debit.) Then after demanding a
payment that was similar to what I was paying anyway, they cancelled the
exact same amount of benefits to my ex, this put her deeper in the sh*t.
After a few months she then went back for more, the CSA then wanted to
triple my payments so that when they cancelled completely all benefits
to my ex my money would cover it. These are benefits that every mother
has a right to regardless of situation. I stopped paying and took legal
action. I established with the CSA that moneys could be forced out of me
but not out of my ex and that if over payment was proved it was the CSA
who was liable. I then got a copy the rules and regulations the CSA work
to (this is a 'secret and restricted' document) did my own calculations
and proved that for the period the CSA had directed my payments to my ex
I had over paid £1300 (I think) I then started action against the CSA
for my money back and made a lot of noise about it.

They settled before it went to court.
If I didn't pursue my claim against them and kept quiet they would not
attempt to get any moneys from me at all and support a situation where I
didn't pay anything a month.

CSA are a bunch of liars who are enforcing a stealth tax on fathers who
are already paying on a regular basis. They don't go after the non
payers as their failure rate is so high.

An agency that was founded on good intentions and now only exists to
reduce the moneys to single mothers and generate funds to indirectly
support itself.
