The BBC is running a story on its website that
hails BENEFIT CHEATS FACE LIE DETECTORS

Update – BBC has now changed its headline to BENEFIT STAFF TO USE LIE DETECTOR (story remains the same).

Sky News is running the same story on their website LIE TESTS FOR FRAUDSTERS

The Daily Express also runs the story BENEFIT CHEATS FACE LIE DETECTORS.

The system first analyses the characteristics of a caller's
“normal” voice to establish a benchmark.

This ensures it
takes any natural variation, for example due to nerves or shyness, into
account.

Software which analyses changes in a caller's voice is to be used in a pilot scheme to help identify suspect cases at the start of a claim.

The software then
looks for changes in voice tone and frequency and performs thousands of
mathematical calculations to identify signs that someone could be lying.

Benefits staff
can then ask for further evidence to support any suspicious claims.

However when you
read the story, what it should say is

EVERYONE CLAIMING BENEFIT FACES LIE DETECTORS – guilty until proven innocent
 

This is blatant government propaganda.

This surely gives weight to the claim that the BBC and Sky News and other MSM just repeat government propaganda rather than reporting news. The plans sound very similar to those outlined in 2005 by then Work and Pensions Secretary David Blunkett.

Another item in
the BBC article that pricked my ears was a paragraph that stated:

It will be tested
on housing and council tax benefit claims first, before being rolled out to job
centres later in the year.

WHY WOULD THEY
WANT LIE DETECTORS IN JOB CENTRES ?

A better use of public money would be to trial it on
our politicians first. PMQ's would be a good start.

That was the
promise she made to the nation in November last year. 

This item in the Guardian
from 22 Nov 06.

Patricia
Hewitt told MPs yesterday that she will resign as health secretary if the NHS
in England does not break even
financially by March.

Her commitment came under
cross-examination by members of the Commons health select committee concerned
that the NHS's half-year accounts showed a third of NHS trusts are forecasting
deficits totalling almost £1.2bn.

The worst Health Secretary this nation has ever seen, taking lessons from Gordon Brown and fiddling the books just doesn't do it.

We now call upon Hewitt to fulfil
at least one promise in her political life. RESIGN
