These new fraud allegations follow only a year on from when another council employee was charged with dishonestly obtaining over £28,000 in incapacity benefit over a four-year period despite also working for Wigan Council.

Quote: The 56-year-old had been earning between £300 and £1,100 while still claiming from the government, the court was told. Teresa Loftus, prosecuting, said: "She continued to claim benefits after she had returned to work."For almost four years, money was being paid into her account while she was earning, on average, £700 a month with the council."Abbott was only caught out when the council decided to do random checks on staff and her crime came to light.

Ms. Abbott was employed as a Senior Officer in Wigan Council's Chief Executives department and was also the GMB union convenor. Ms Abbott additionally held the Wigan Constituency Labour Party Chair. She was also a very prominent figure actively helping our local Labour MP's Mr Andy Burnham and Mr Neil Turner, as well as holding many past and present roles, including being chair of Wigan and Leigh United Against Racism!

So it's pretty clear Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council is corrupt to the bleeding core, but, that's not entirely surprising. Not only do they harbour criminals of the highest calibre, they also employ and gloat over RACIST BIGOTS like Mr Elliot Brown in this anti-British, anti -white and pro-multicultural cabal.
