You'll find more people justify cheating tax than cheating the benefit system. It's like tv licensing in the other thread. People pay it but you get many who don't think that they should, and many don't. Most people don't kick up a fuss about them in the same way they do about benefit cheats though.

To be fair, I could justify a few people cheating both systems in a few circumstances, because I know a lot of statistics in this area from studying EU law, social policy and citizenship this year as part of my degree. It is the same with immigration, I could justify some and not others. And it is all very subjective.
People working in the Black Market industries cost his country Billions of pounds every year, well that maybe acceptable to you, but it certainly isn't to me
