Re: Benefits for the poor are spent on drugs and gambling

Is it only a tiny minority who live exclusively on benefits?
I know at least three families who have never worked...ever.

And yes, it is disgraceful that when caught the benefit cheats get ludicrous sentences.
It is even more disgraceful that they cheat in the first place, rather than have the morality to go out and earn a living.

Have a walk along Broadway, any day of the week and look at some of the vulnerable.
