In its campaign to rid the country of ‘disabled benefit scroungers‘ the Sun claimed a victory last night after it uncovered Pudsey the Bear, who claims to have visual impairment problems in one eye, was actually working one day a year.
In an undercover operation, the newspaper revealed the bear was raking in over 30 million a year working one day a year for a little-known organisation called ‘Children in Need’ while it claimed to be disabled.
After Sun readers were encouraged to help crack down on welfare crime in a campaign it says is endorsed by David Cameron, the newspaper revealed it had had a large number of calls to its ‘benefit cheats’ hotline after Sun readers noticed the cheating bear working on television last night.
In an editorial the Sun said:
Social security should be a safety net for those in need, not a ticket for grasping, lazy layabout bears leading a luxury lifestyle funded by you. The Sun is leading the charge to rid Britain of a generation of scrounging stuffed toys — and with your help we are starting to succeed.
In a statement thanking the Sun, David Cameron said:
Every year, a large amount of taxpayers money is stolen by benefit fraudsters like Pudsey the Bear. This bear has been wrongly taking money from other people, and I’d like to thank Sun readers for not tolerating the criminal actions of pilfering playthings like this.

Please feel free to comment – you don’t need to register and I’m extremely minimal with the moderating – so fire away……

The DWP said that is very pleased that Sun readers have joined its army of informers, adding that, with help like this, by 2015 it will achieve the Stalin pioneered objective of having every little person spying on every other little person at no expense to the state.

Pudsey has a mate . A right perv called pedo bear that collects photos of topless young ladies taken from newspapers. I applaud the efforts of the SUN and EXPRESS of not only cracking down on workshy but also dangerous sexual deviants who dont run daily newspapers whilst marketing sleazy porn magazines.

Strangley enough most benefit fraud hotline calls are malevolent. Who’d have thunk it?

Thank you Tom for bringing to our attention, the criminality of Pudsey, who, as a child of the BBC, should possess an exemplary record and be a shining example of what is great about the BBC. And thank you to The Sun for their tireless campaign in helping to rid the country of unsavoury elements of the media. Where would we be without these custodians of morality?

Well wheres the profit motive in that? Surely spying on people for free is crazy and pointless its much better to rip the tax payer off and provide low quality shitty service instead.
