Fake holiday sickness couple from Wallasey jailed

A "greedy" couple made "fake" holiday sickness compensation claims while boasting about holidays full of "sun, laughter and fun", a court heard.

Deborah Briton, 53, and partner Paul Roberts, 43, were jailed at Liverpool Crown Court after admitting fraud.

They tried to claim nearly £20,000 saying their two children fell ill on holidays to Majorca in 2015 and 2016.

Judge David Aubrey QC said there had been an "explosion" in gastric illness claims made by UK holidaymakers.

Briton, who was jailed for nine months, and Roberts, who received a 15-month term, bragged about their holidays on social media, the court heard.

Luxembourg may return €40.2 million in Greek interest income

Luxembourg could potentially pay €40.2 million to Greece -- which had to be bailed out by international lenders, initially in 2010, to avoid bankruptcy -- in part from interest income from the amount it lent.

Apparently this was outside a major monastery on Rhodes.  The bishop has cancelled all further wedding bookings for foreigners (90% Brits) until 2021 at a big financial loss to the monastery.

Quote
"Would they have done the same in their homeland in front of a British chapel, a Jewish temple, a Muslim mosque? It's a huge damper on our society here. We are one of the most famous wedding destinations in the world and we are booked solid through to 2021," he added.
Giorgos Eleftheriou, president of the Lindos community, who performed the couple's ceremony

Quite.  Idiots
