[Margaret Pilkington]

You have hit the nail on the head.
These people do not seem to think they should live by the rules of general decency, moral or ethics...yet they believe we should.
How is it different to defraud the tax payer by claiming money for a mortgage which is fully paid....or claiming allowances for a home owned by a family member, or being a benefit cheat??
Both are ways of stealing money from the tax payer......not paying full taxes by exploiting loopholes may not be illegal, but the people doing this are taking money from the system which could be paying for services which are being axed.
