Maybe we see one or two cases a week reported in the newspapers were some bod or family is claiming benifits they do not deserve.. one or two the percentage is not even worth trying to work out...let's get things clear, the need to make cuts have little to do with who deserves what.. weeding out the very minute proportion of those that are "scrounging" will save little ..the only way to make massive cuts in social benifits is to transfer those who are already on a poverty rated income to an even lower income...it's simple,, if you can walk you are fit for work and from what I've heard you will get around £65 per week instead of something like £85..
This is more of the same old rubbish economics the Tories have dished out over the last 100yrs... they talk big on abolishing Quangos, but in less than 3 months they have set up over 25 "commisions" at a cost of billions to work out the best means to make cuts.
I'm surprised we have not got to the stage were we attack single women with kids.. maybe they are saving that as back up.
