£760 million to pay 170 claimants, wish I'd been under paid / under valued, nice little £4.5 million back pay.

Lol. That's the cost to pay everyone not just the original claimants.

thats a good point,didnt something happen like this in Detroit,house prices fell so much they couldnt give them away as council services were if at all running,some homeless were buying bus tickets on 24 hour routes and just stayed on the bus as it went around to keep warm

The only fair thing to do no now is to retire all the officials with massive pensions.
