I could see myself stealing for survival, but not for the sake of having NICE THINGS. I grew up in a very wealthy adopted family and had all the material things I wanted. I left due to abuse and I'm disabled now due to epilepsy. and I've been right at the poverty line for my entire adult life. I haven't had nice things in over 20 years, but for me, I've never felt the urge to be dishonest just to have THINGS. I'm content as long as I'm fed and have a warm bed. These people need a hard dose of reality and what it's like to be truly broke, they're taking everything for granted.
This tribe in Africa was asked if they wanted anything.Answer: WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED SO WHY DO WE WANT FOR ANYTHING! They were extremely happy, no drug addicted kids, etc. In USA so many keep thinking they'd be happy if only they had an expensive toy, when really all the love they can share brings them true bliss. Even when whole family struggles to keep a roof over their heads & fed r happier than those with all the gold! Water will be the new gold, global warming. When a loved one dies is not the time to realize tomorrow is not promised. So sorry u were abused! Summer Wells case has my soul bc I can see she was abused, & craved LOVE!
Yeah I agree. My family wasn't wealthy by any means. Free meals at school, never name brand clothing ever lol. But ( unlike you unfortunately) there was so much love. I'm still not rich! Maybe one day. But me & my daughter get by! Stealing when your already middle class or above is ridiculous. Somethings wrong with you -
true. thats how i feel about it all . i agree with u.
I'm so sorry you were abused. My deceased husband was abused in a very wealthy family and it had a great impact on him emotionally. I pray you have healed
Shame what a sad story.
Sophistication is a lie. These people are slaves to their need to be considered as a member of the elite club. They are scared of rejection from their so called peers. There is a very good story about people's perception of wealth which goes like this.
An old couple were sitting one night with their teenage grandson having some tea and cake. The grandson was excitedly talking about all his grand schemes to become super rich. Then he told his grandparents how he would spend al this new found wealth. He said he would buy his grandparents and parents a new house with the latest furniture and also a new car.
The grandfather looked over to his wife and they smiled knowingly together then the grandfather spoke to his grandson.
"Young man I want you to answer a few questions for me."
"Sure grandad." The youth answered.
Then the grandfather started his questions and answers.
Question: How many roofs can a trillionaire sleep under in one night?
Answer: 1
Question: How many meals can a trillionaire eat in one day?
Answer: 3 or 4
Question: How many sets of clothes can a trillionaire wear at a time?
Answer: 1
Question: How many cars can a trillionaire drive at a time.
Answer: 1
The grandfather smiled at the youngster and sighed before continuing, "Yes, I have worked hard for what I have got. But, I have a good house in a decent area. I have enough to eat and also enough clothing. I have a reliable car and enough money put away for a comfortable life."
"But Granddad" the youth interrupted.
His grandmother put her finger to her lips and said "Shhh, let me continue from your granddad".
"We have a very comfortable life with what we have. No we do not have a mansion, designer clothes, expensive jewelry or motor cars but when you consider that a trillionaire is human and his needs with what we have we are as rich as a trillionaire."
Her grandson did not look convinced or happy but his grandmother was not finished.
",Sweet heart do you think that these super rich people are happy? Do you know that in Bill Gates house every door is a bank vault door for security reasons? If someone visits him they have to wear a clipcard which constantly monitors where they are in the building. Every corner of his home is covered by surveillance cameras and there is a squad of security officers monitoring the entire residence 24/7. His children have body guards with them 24/7. They are terrified of assassins, burglars or kidnappers. Do you know that the elite people make the psychiatrists rich because they have to visit them so often and they spend fortunes on sedatives so they can sleep at night? If there is a stock market crash a large amount of these people commit suicide. The poorer people are used to working to survive and in these hard times they make a plan to overcome their problems.
No dear, we have enough and we are as rich as trillionaires"
The youngster by this time looked more thoughtful and his grandparents could see their talk was successful. This was confirmed when he gave them a cheeky smile and asked for the last chocolate biscuit on the plate.
It's funny how in the UK middle class means "pretty well off" and in the US it means "not in abject poverty/ racking up debt so as not to appear desperately poor"
My thoughts exactly. But I wonder just how true this description actually is in the UK, what regular non-media types think, as this video seems to really try to portray more upper-middle class people as plain working stiffs. In the US, you can live paycheck to paycheck and be unable to afford any vacations/fancy extras/healthcare, but as long as even the most basic food is on the table, _that's_ middle class. And that's sad.
@@sluttymctits4496 You are both quite wrong. In the UK being middle class has nothing to do with money.
@@oldbatwit5102 - Care to elaborate? I'd be interested to hear what the cultural differences are.
What about so-called "Millionaires" who owe MORE than they actually have in their Bank Accounts ?
There's definitely a different meaning of "middle class" in the US/Britain. In Britain it basically means "white collar". Professionals, office workers, etc.
Fiona's got a free pass for her criminal behavior. The "administrative error" was another way of saying money and family connections will set you free.
Gaped out is more like it...
Privileged 🙄
Exactly.
The UK maintains several tax havens with banking secrecy (such as Guernsey) which only exist to allow rich criminals to get away with their crimes.
The City of London itself is a pirates paradise.
Criminality isn't even illegal there. Justice is illegal.
She's a shocker. And we're meant to feel sorry for her because the prison blankets had bugs. 🤣
Aye!!!!
The artist guy at the end was best. Ends up in prison and on entering asks "where's the Library?" and the prison officer says, "that's it" pointing at a box of books on the floor! Now he's out and gone back to painting but selling them as fakes......with some selling for thousands!!
I used to deliver pizza as a teenager. Back then, a lot of pizzas cost $19.95. Lower middle class people were usually kind and usually tipped. Upper middle class .... they'd say things like "You owe me a nickel". My boss said we roll quarters. We roll dimes. We never roll nickels. "Upper middle class" people didn't tip and they wanted their nickel.
That's how they became rich - by penny pinching. Also, they don't care/understand what it is to be in your position so they absolutely have no inclination to tip you. If you're what they considered poor, then it's bc you're lazy, didn't work hard enough, it's your fault and it's your bad luck. Nothing to do with them. They have no idea how privileged they were the day they were born into this unfair world
People born into money just don’t understand what it is for others not to have any, so they don’t have empathy. And many wealthy people didn’t make it honestly, they cheat on taxes (hello Trump), bypass bankruptcy laws, undercut their contractors etc. and the penny pinchers are the worst because they’ll always be poor in their mind, they’ll never have enough money to be happy. To them money isn’t a tool, it is the end goal in itself. They get a sense of value from having it, rather than spending it on valuable experiences
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim Agreed!
That's how they become rich! #thatnikel
To pay the price and not to play with the money is not a bad sign. The bad thing would be to want to pay less, but it seems that was not the case.
Problem is those of us who work for a living and want to live in a community where our assets are protected do not find anything amusing about these thieves.
Am I the only one wishing that they serve a decent amount of time in prison, and their cellmate is someone that's had to fight to survive, and possible steal to be able to eat? I would respect a homeless person raiding a dumpster more than these people. Actually, I'd probably toss the homeless person $5 and some food if he was raiding the dumpster
Fiona “just exactly what did I do to deserve this” are you kidding me? 😂😂 that’s humorous
I suppose I'm either too honest or too cowardly but I'd be too afraid of being caught and going to prison to ever even consider these scams. I may not have a lot but what I do have belongs to me honestly.
Amen to that!
And it's your way of being, Tara, that helps society function.🎶🐦✌🏼🌍
I watched 2 years ago and I am shocked that no one has watched this since I commented about this two years ago. I am surprised at how I don't remember a thing about this. I am 72 so that might be the issue. I also am surprised at how much more I was impacted by this video than the last time. I got angry watching this knowing at how many poor people are put in jail for years more than these people have gotten for the same crime. I also don't like how these people look like it wasn't no big thing. At my age I have time to think about my life and the things that pop up most are the things that I did wrong. I wonder if these people have a conscience as I do.
I could never rob innocent people, their homes, shops, ect. Awful. Once, about 25 years ago, my grandmother accidently stole 3 birthday card from the pharmacy. She paid for her goods at the counter but somehow failed to pay for the cardsand only found them unpaid for once she got home. The cards were just overlooked during the purchased and packed in the bag with her other things and she hadn't even realized it. She was back at the store the next day to pay for them.
I worked at a chain restaurant when I was a teenager and the customers who tried to get away with paying in full were members of the upper middle class. This one doctor would hide pats of butter and pkgs of crackers under his plate. The butter and crackers cost ten, twenty cents. Another wealthy lady would look around to see if anyone was watching and dump a whole basket of sugar packets in her purse.
When I was in Torquay, Devon me & my aunt went to an Oriental buffet she wrapped 2-3 pcs of tiny chicken breast in a napkin, commenting these r for the seagulls they r my pets
@@mymydelilah 😆😄
My family are upper middle class Brits. Mother's company has been stealing from the tax man for years; exploiting loopholes, overseas bank accounts you name it. She's probably in violation of the law in a few different areas, but if the people who are making and supposedly enforcing the laws are doing the exact same thing, who's going to make a big fuss about it? Honestly having seen what some rich people are doing it really makes you feel disillusioned about this country.
don't worry, this happens everywhere
im telling the police!
@@Emperor_Shao_Kahn Well she's sold up retired since I wrote that comment, so good luck xD
@@PinkkElephantt sold up and retired does not put her beyond the law! just saying!😜
@@smiley9872 That's fair. But I'd rather not fund that retirement, or her legal fees, so I'm hardly going to hope for justice xD
Liars and cheaters come in all classes.
True.
100%. lying and theft transcend class, gender, time, and borders
Yes, but it's a little more disgusting when you do it even though there's no reason.
M Soda- Hi, whos watching this 7 Nov,2021. No!!! Just the Pyscho Cabal."Ending the Reign of Evil( Absence without Love)
The only winner here is the "Nude Housekeeper wearing only rubber gloves" earns £180,000!
But the Bolton furniture shop owner who can miss £160k from his business over a few years is also doing pretty well for himself!
So unsanitary 😂
@AL Cats there's takers for everything ;)
That's a good idea for a job!
Shame they didn’t say his details...save me a job and have a crack at the same time! 🙂
The lady who burglarized seems to still get a thrill even just talking about it. Her eyes light up. Be careful lady, you are not cured yet
She's a star
They get a high from it. So it's like a drug to them
u
Lol so true! I would NOT want her as my neighbor
I wonder how old her children were, leaving them alone at night.
When I was working at an upmarket department store there was a sophisticated lady from the most expensive suburb in town who used frequent the store. When she walked into the store we would professionally carry on with our work but keep an eye on her all the time and alert the manager of the store that she was there. Over and over again she was caught stealing. When this happened the manager would call her husband who would arrive with the family lawyer apologize to the manager who was also the owner, pay for the items stolen and take her away. We once asked the manager why he did not sue them or lay charges and he just shook his head with a grim look and said that the family was very powerful and to sue the family would not only be very expensive but they could also make every operation of the store suffer. We further asked him why she would do this and bring disgrace on her family and he said with an equally exasperated expression on his face that with her sophisticated life she was bored and this added an element of excitement to her full life. "But" he added, "if my wife had to do this I would divorce her and send her as far away from me as possible. She needs psychiatric help!!!"
The woman burglar is only crying because she got jail time,if not she'd still be at it now!
True
I think she is sorry for her children.
A bored housewife. "one" has to have excitement in ones life doesn't one
Tiglath Pilezar iv not got any symphany at all for her but mayb she shud of thought of her kids bfor hand
@@emaj4947 - to be honest, I don;t think she's asking for sympathy.
This has nothing to do with with where you are from, it has everything to do with your character
Yep! Especially, when ordering a cleaning service with a woman who wears nothing but rubber gloves for your amusement.
T.T. Love Absolutely. These people are human scum. Nobody has any sense of moral fortitude, Its all sbout greed.
Everything to do with where you are from as you would get a bullet in the head in many countries for those crimes
It does have something to do with where you’re from. You can’t deny that upbringing and social factors contribute to crime. It’s been proven time and time again. You’re right in saying it has to do with character. The truth is it’s a mixture of both of those things as well as your social circle, family, friends and genetics. These all contribute to an entire human being and altogether will determine what actions you take in the future. So to say it has absolutely NOTHING to do with where you’re from and EVERYTHING to do with character is a bit hyperbolic. It’s all of those things in different measures all mixed together.
And privilege.
This is a programme about sociopaths who come from all classes.
😂😂😂
Sociopaths? How do you qualify that statement? I'm Fiona by the way.
Narcissist, Get it right
@@nickieriley7733
Narcissistic sociopaths? 😄
Most middle class think they are above the law
What the heck? How could Fiona Mont be one of "Britain's Most Wanted," but not charged with any crimes? Did someone pull some strings, grease some palms, you know... pay someone to drop charges?
She might find her N.I. # never existed if she ever goes home . They did it to the Windrush generation --- Stalinism in Laura Ashley from John Lewis.
I was thinking the same thing, someone was pad off.
Fiona comes across as either a actress playing the roll of fiona, or a devious person.
Funny thing about Fionas , all the ones l've met are very fey. In France she'd be Fi-fi which kinda sums it up , woof woof.@@nancypiccirillo8900
I don't think it has anything to do with being middle class...
Well that one guy at the start he was only stealing money to buy things you NEED in life, like lobster dinners, champagne, hotel rooms and flying lessons - you know, the bare essentials.
LOL
StreakyBaconMan- Hi, could do with some Bacon. Lool. Whos still watching this Nov 7, 2021.That one guy still got caught. Good Job, Met Police & Investigators.
😂
@@savvystyle9358 just as well, he had a horrible credit score.😆😆😆
Hahaha love this comment 😂
Burglary of private homes is hardly victimless crime. How very sad.
So sad . We must do better as humans. I grew up poor , malnourished, never told I love you or hugged after infancy , witnessed domestic violence , uneducated just so dysfunctional . Total different person today. We can change the future to make it safe , we’ll-educated, loved, good health , mentally strong and everything one desires and more. . I believe in our future generations. It can be done if we create it.
I'm American. It's fun watching these documentaries and listening to the UK slang and customs
Tax inspector? Thief by day and also by night.
Only people disliked more than scummy laweyers.... Tax goons.
cosmicdebris42 100% accurate!
There are plenty of places where you don't have to pay taxes, why don't you go live there?
Hahah
Authorized and unathorized at the same time...
Drug smuggler 😂😂😂 look at those eyes 👀. He doesn’t just smuggle them
😂😂😂😂
dont get high on ya own supply
But, they're still together and evidently he's clean now.
Actually I worked with him, Graham’s a really lovely bloke who had my back on more than one occasion, and Fiona and G are living an amazing life now with 2 brilliant children! He was never on drugs
he just has that look. maybe he doesnt do drugs. im sure someone on drugs would do them and not be smuggling . not that its not possible. but .. i myself might even try them drugs boiii
Imagine walking in on Jane robbing your house. She’d be able to tell me she heard screaming and went in I’d believe it just by the way she looks even if she had my TV in her hands!!😂
Not me. LOL
She went for marks like you who seem to think white ladies like her are can do no harm.
If I saw her in my house she wouldn't walk out.
3:16 You don't need lobster to survive. lol
These entitled creeps do, apparently.
I need a good marbled steak and a decent wine to go with it to live I guess.lol
@@wanderingsoul1500 I was thinking of taking up crime to keep myself in the essentials.. namely Japanese A5 beef.
I want "Caviar". Lol
"Rich or poor we all have the same vices." Um no. I'm pretty sure that's what criminals and morally corrupt people have to tell themselves so they can live with themselves, the whole 'everybody does it' angle. No sir, no we don't. Some of us have self control, discipline, and morals that prevent us from doing such things.
Yep. Some of us are just brainwashed slaves who'd do anything their government with its "laws" tells them to do.
Caitlin Wolf It's GOOD v Bad.
very very few
@@HelenaVanCity "Everybody does it"
"I'M NO SLAVE!"
These are boring. What other excuses do you have?
@TheChickenRiceBowl Excuses? Why would I need any "excuses" to justify my behavior, especially to some dumbass? I simply live my life the way I want to, and that's what pisses off bores like you. Well, that's your problemo, kiddo. Also, if you were a tad more intelligent, you might have noticed my other comment right below; it would provide you some insight.
Uhh... I'm only 20:00 minutes in but so far nobody I've seen on here is exactly a master at covering their tracks...
"She was very, very clever." This doesn't seem clever at all, it just seems like a single person had control over the accounting. Clever doesn't leave a paper trail like that.
Hales Rymel- Hi, whos still watching this 7 Nov,2021. No!!! its Smart Grid, ifones, etc. Not Clever at all. Clever is Above Psychos, the smart "Cabal" HaaHaaHaa.
clever eople.dont do cri.es. they figure a way to make money legally.
The burglary lady has me laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially about how she got caught
😂😂😂
What was it like to be a fugitive? It was fantastic 😂😂😂😂
LMAO
3:10 you don’t “need” expensive champagne and lobster. I honestly cannot believe this man.
He's just a tw*t, probably borrows from people and doesnt pay them back. I've known one or two like him. One day they'll catch up with him.
'Ballet' which every little girl loves.... me in the corner crying wishing I could read books on military history
I lived in England for 8 years after University. They are a nation obsessed by class...and yet they by and large have none.
I agree and I've lived here all my life. The classiest people who live here are the kind caring people with no ego,now that's class.
@@charlottebruce979 always the classiest upper class people are very kind and humble. money and class is so natural to them they focus on other things in life!
@@deepconvos1 it’s easy not to worry about money when your rich through birth. I attend uni with a lot of these ‘nice rich’ people.
They live in a fantasy land. That’s why they are so ‘nice’ and ‘happy’. When you see them behind closed doors they laugh at the poor people shopping at Primark and budgeting. They laughed in my face when I asked if we could try and get the bills down because we were being extravagant, they just laugh and say can’t you ask your parents.
@@deepconvos1 lol that’s hilarious
just as the USA is a nation obsessed by cash, by and large having little or none...
The guy that thinks lobster and champagne are needed for survival is a complete tool. He needs a strong wake up call!!
In her mind, that Fiona character is the victim in all of this. Look at her crying and feeling sorry for herself. Unbelievable.
exactly
Exactly!!! She is something else!!
Pretty sure the police "lost" the case files for her... after her daddy paid a large sum of money to the officers!
@James you can tell by were she lives!! She still has a great lifestyle
Yes. Boo hoo. Spoilt brat. Appears to have never worked a day in her life.
The way this guy introduces this program. All Middle-Class people are like this, rather than the few! Class has nothing to do with being dishonest.
Im glad I dont need much to be happy. To me a good meal is spaghetti and a beer. A good day is a day spent with my dog...a terrific vacation would be to the czech republic for a month for less than a thousand dollars on a budget.
BlackDogLivesMatter ....lim the same !
I'm happy making variations on ramen noodles. Hanging out with my sassy cat and dog. To get away, I go camping on federal or state land for free. Then, just use the vacation money I saved to make some good meals while camping, and be missing my modern home by the end of the week
Same here pretty much... Only an ideal vacation for me is down to the blue seas of Cornwall.
I like the username. 🐶✊🏻
@@allygaffney962 Sounds like a perfect existence!
He steals "to finance his middle-class tastes", is this show a parody?
I guess he sees it like stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family, only replace 'family' with 'himself' and 'bread' with 'lobsters' (and champage...and flying lessons).
I like the way the show allows you to make your own mind up about these people. The lobster guy is an entitled POS. The woman burglar has absolutely no integrity. The embezzlers are heartless.
He needs his lobsters tho...
Yeah, I caught that too....I wondered if it was sarcasm.
I can imagine him saying something like, well I was raise with these tastes, so I have to do what I do to keep living this way. Like someone else said to him it's like getting bread to feed his family, without these things he wouldn't survive!
The Middle classes have always been on the fiddle but like to point the finger at the working classes when they fiddle benefits.
Blindly trusting an employee with the company money is self-betrayal from the onset.
Some companies require their employees to handle money. Hello???🤦🏽
@@sg5720 It should never be put in one person. There should be checks and balances in place. Never give too much trust to an employee.
I think that's called victim blaming.
Absolutely love the artist John, very talented and great personality, glad he is doing so well now as he truly deserves it.
Agreed. He's the sort of person I could have a beer with.
I agree. He learned a lesson and used his ability to produce and make a living. Which he should have done from the beginning.
These people are certainly not 'posh'. How ridiculous
I paid a high 5 figure tax bill last year. No unfair deductions were made by me. Straight up accounts. I feel robbed because I work really hard and educated myself up to the max (paid for by myself). My neighbour and his family live on the dole. He has a new (ok it's a small hatchback) car. The council just replaced his roof and damaged mine in the process. Nice.
I truly despise these greedy, selfish people who shamelessly steal..they are low level degradable human beings.
The woman committing the burglaries is so insincere. Girl please!
Haya Glamazon glad someone else seen right through it its unreal 😂
Haya Glamazon .. Really? I actually thought the exact opposite. She appeared to me as very sincere and remorseful. hmmm
Only sorry because she was caught
Haya Glamazon takes ☝🏽 to know ☝🏽
I kinda believe her though.
Perhaps they're following the example of the politicians !
That last one was quite funny and if nothing else he can see the error of his ways.
Thank you 🙏 for your support Real Stories. You have been with us a long time. Thank you 🙏
It has nothing to do with what one needs. It's all about greed, lust, obsession, selfishness, fame, power, lack of contentment, and criminal behavior! They don't care who they hurt as long as they get the luxurious lifestyle. Sounds like the majority of people in America and around the world!!! The LOVE of money is the root to all kinds of evil!!! It has, is and will be a part of this world!!!
The first guy is an absolute wanker, with his smarmy smile while he's saying it's not cheap to live because he needs lobster and flying lessons. How he's not completely embarrassed to sound and act so stupid is beyond me.
Preachy much?
My husband makes just over $250k a year, and we don’t spend like this! Crazy! We have zero credit card debt, but do support several charities as our children are grown. These people are nuts.
I'm in need of charitable support.
Wow...a youtube profile name actually matching the content of what they wrote....flex indeed ! lmfao
I'm so happy that my needs are very small and always affordable 💕
Until now? :0
It's such a pity for that man who could draw. Really a truly talented artist.😔😔😔😔 but even Van Gogh died penniless
Change you name
You find a burglary fascinating? You are twisted. The thought of someone taking something from me that I worked hard for makes me physically ill.
Daniela Staples so sad
@Michael Schofield maybe it's that easy. If so, I find that really sad. It's so important how you look and how you're precieved that you'll cheat people who can't afford it. It's just shameful.
Daniela Staples You might be able to afford it though! What’s the problem? Just replace it!
For me, it wasn’t that I worked hard to pay for items. What hit me hard and lingers are the gifts I was given. I thought they took the only reminder of my last boyfriend, my only memento for a beloved pet, etc.
How do you feel about the government stealing tax money out of your paycheck that you work hard for everyday?? You don't see that because you're programmed by the government the biggest f****** thieves in the world is government everybody else after that it's just following suit!! .. get over it!
Poor people are heavily monitored when it comes to paying bills, and are judged as being criminals unless proven otherwise. Yet it's the middle class that will do anything to prevent themselves from becoming poor. That includes using their upperclass schooling of knowledge on how to take advantage of people. But the middle class isn't being heavily monitored or are judged, because they're middle class.
People that go around telling people of their crimes , never fail to amaze me . When a person does a crime , they should only tell , me myself and I . WTF??????
Good for Fiona. She really is a soft spoken likable person. Intelligent.
Love this documentary channel
People are only ever sorry when they've been caught.
Not true
Its only cheating if you kiss !
🤔🖕
@@janetwestwood9194 I would kiss you tho Janet 😉
Some people just don’t realise how privileged they are!! Some of these want to try living the lives of people like myself who struggle day to day. Obviously money doesn’t make you happy but it blooming helps. As long as I have my daughter happy and well then all else is a bonus.
Those paintings are absolutely beautiful and I was thinking ppl would buy them regardless!!! Who has millions to spend on a Matisse or Picasso when u just want to spruce up ur apt kitchen bedroom hallway or dinning room?
Ballet lessons which every little girl loves... Can't relate. My family couldn't afford extra curriculars. Just reminds me how deep the class divide really is.
My family couldn't afford ballet lessons for me either, but this wealthy family who moved into our village could send their daughter and she hated going. They went away one weekend and she let me borrow her tutu and ballet shoes - I was in seventh heaven for two whole days. Ah, a 67 year-old looking back at the dreams of an eight year-old ...
I prefer a cockney knees up! 😅
this was her.problem. she was a spoiled child with a pony. later im life parents disnt buy her things anymore so she stole
Once you are able to justify taking just a little bit, you are well on your way to justifying anything. It's a very slippery slope.
That artist is brilliant. Glad it worked out for him.
Never trust anyone especially when it comes to money. It's sad to say, but true.
Aww, middle class crooks are so cute. No harm done. Have a nice day!
What an interesting program. Thank you for uploading
I saw a certain type of theft at work: employees who spent hours online, on their cell phones, texting or larking about for hours gossiping to each other. There were employees who snuck away for a smoke or to do personal business every time a manager was gone. They spent more time out of the office than in it. Several were running their own businesses on company time and equipment. The management turned a blind eye to it. The owners were oblivious due to lack of involvement with the actual workings of the company. The worst damage in dishonest behavior is to the person doing it. You can't have self-respect when you're a cheat.
the last guy i cant really fault, he was an artist, most people who make art never see their paintings sell, its only when they are dead they become valued
They have this superior arrogance, and this high god given right to do anything.
Yes, narcissistic personalities.
yes. that first.jabne womem even said she was spoiled as a kid. that is the root of the probem. nkw as an adult no rich daddy to keep giving her things she wants
Yes because our diet relys on lobster and champagne😂 il tell that to my bank.

This isn’t a middle class issue it’s a human issue
binge watching real stories is fun
This is middle class so what are the rich and the mega rich doing then
I would class these people as the lower echelons of the upper class, although they have no class at all. I grew up in a well-off upper middle class family/area and we had much less than this lot. I went to an excellent state school, my dad worked an honest living until retirement and paid his tax to apparently fund these degenerates and their incarceration.
@@Theaterfreak Exactly. Their losers.

They only steal from pension funds
Bro, he spent 1.7 million on racing tipsters. I rest my case.
The only person in this documentary that DIDNT do anything wrong was the girl cleaning old dudes house in “nothing but rubber gloves” 🤣
😂😂😂 but she cleaned him up for all he was worth he is now driving a bus darling
Indeed. That was honest work
LOVE how these people are trying to justify their own greed!
narcissism
at its finest
Can't believe how can someone become so blind sided with their money?I would never let even a penny slip by! You need to keep check n balance everyday
I mean, I've grown up in a middle class family and we have never dodged paying money. These are very extreme cases.
I worked for a major insurer in 1994 and a co worker ( who I will name Smith) stole $250k (double that now), bit by bit very simply. We handled car accidents and so if Brown and Jones had an accident she would simply insert Smith as another involved party. Do this randomly enough over many hundreds of files and you can get away for a long time undetected. Eventually she was caught and her punishment? 250 hours community work for stealing $250k. The company didn't pursue it too vigorously because they were embarrassed by the media attention. It also left us workers with much harder jobs. Ten steps to make payments making the job much slower.
Crime pays
I like the painter at the end, a truly talented man.
That painter was extremely likeable xD
This is about diverting away from upper class thief.
🤔👍
From Laird to busdriver! Marvelous, Lol 🤪
If the middle class are dishonest can you imagine what the rich must be like
Sweeping judgement
look at the diamond that fiona still has on with her wedding rings bigger than my meals each day lol
Thanks for the lessons!
Jamie Goforth impossible programme
41:20 this guy i can almost respect, a painting is valueless, the only thing that gives it value is how much someone will pay for it, and he should be honoured that someone would pay 25.000 for his paintings even though it’s a copy 😂
Well shame on the credit card companies for not cutting Dan off and extending credit line after credit line--what are they thinking giving an obviously irresponsible person unsecured loans???
Looking forward to seeing these self-entitled snobs on an upcoming 'Can't Pay, We'll Take it Away' ie the High Court knocking on their door.
class in uk is weird. these people are rich, at least upper middle class for me.
Tetrischan England is my city
You do not understand what upper middle class means dear.
England isn't a city, it's a country
England isn't a city, it's a country
Amelia G-T This is all so interesting to me! Do you mind explaining how one would go from lower middle class to upper middle class? It's so different from America where it's mostly all about the money you have. Thank you :)
I LOVE this!!!
Great tutorial, thank you.
Let's see how many of these people in this documentary is claiming to suffer from "affluenza"
Amelia G-T I like how the tax system is handled in the U.K. though because it's income based. My question is does the lower class (poor folks) have to pay more interest in taxes if left behind or you just only pay the tax amount?
martin corderoy Wow so if I'm not mistaken, income tax is every month in the UK vs annually in the US?? That's quite suprising! It seems quite hefty though as far as how much you would owe or take home.
Momversation: In the US your employer withholds your estimated taxes. Then you file once a year & the Internal Revenue Service gets paid from the money your employer withheld. Then you typically get a refund check. Most employers withhold a bit more than you are likely to owe. You get that back in the form of a refund check.
You really don't ever see that money. On your paycheck stub it shows how much is withheld & then you get a check for your net income.
Self employed have to do a form either monthly, 2x a year, or yearly that essentially estimates your taxes & you send a check in with the forms. Most people do it monthly. The once or twice a year is for people making very little in a side business or something.
They don't just send you giant bill at the end of the year. lol People don't have the self control to set aside 5 or 10+% of their income.
lol Nobody would have it if they did it that way.
Lets seem them all banged up in a North Korean prison
Yes, if you have more take-home pay, you can use it for investments or whatever, and pay at the end of the year your taxes. So the UK's is heftier.
The penalties When their caught are FAR Tooo light!!... :( *Their homes & belongings Should be sold to re-pay their victims,etc!!... :(
Rather if proven to be bought with stolen money essentially (can be a little more complex though) can be forfeited under proceeds of crime act
Dan Griffin says lobster, champagne, flying lessons and hotels are things one needs to survive. Go tell a truly poor parent trying to feed their children that nonsense. Sickening
To look at where the real problems with crime exist it's worth investigating the domestic and international operations of banks and governments to name just two.
