There will always be those who scam the system unfortunately england but please don't make the mistake of thinking benefit for those not working are huge because they are not! I was on 'the dole' until recently and I got just under £73 a week. This had to pay some council tax and all my bills. I was left with about a tenner a week for food. You don't get fat on that.

And how do you know they are not looking for work? Just because they aren't working doesn't mean they are not looking does it? Maybe it's more to do with lack of jobs than anything else? For all you know they are sick and can't find an employer willing to employ them? Those with lung disease often don't look sick do they?

It is not a competition between those who are working, not working or sick you know! You are falling into the trap of emoting the official Govt. policy without much thought. If all the abuses of the system was stopped no more money would be available for those genuinly sick - it would all go for MP's pay rises or millionaires tax cuts. Why don't you get so angry at the big companies hiding behind tax loopholes like Amazon, Google and Star Buck? And all the rich individuals who have 'pretend' companies. They are all scamming the system out of a lot more money - around £120 billion a year I believe. Or is it one thing the poor scamming the system and another thing the rich?

Doesn't mean everyone is like that does it? And why only concentrate on that? Do you approve of millionaires paying less tax than you?

I know what you mean England, but you have to sort the wheat from the chaff. There are those who want to work, but can only do certain types of work because of genuine disabilities. Those dole scroungers who have more and more kids and get all the benefits should be made to take any job that's available or lose their benefits. That should also apply to those that come into this country without first obtaining the offer of employment and abode. This country should take a lesson from the likes of Australia, Canada etc., Where you'd never get past the entry desk if you couldn't prove your worth.

The worst scroungers in this country at the moment are the rich!Most of them look for loopholes to avoid paying their due taxes,why should they benefit from NHS when they don,t want to pay toward it.Greed and selfishness will be the downfall of the human race!

Benefit fraud by the average "choose not to workers" accounts for a minute percentage of cash lost to the Government compared with that lost from tax avoidance by huge companies who can afford lawyers to fix it so they pay zilch. Politicians always go for the softer target, the Gutter Press love it and milk it and their readers, who all seem to share one brain cell fall for it every time. That leaves the bankers, lawyers and Megashark businesses laughing their heads off.

On the other hand, morally speaking, there is a world of difference between someone acting legally to keep hold of money they earned (tax avoidance) and someone acting illegally to get hold of money someone else earned (benefit fraud) . . .

Is it wrong to use that tax avoidance scheme known as an ISA?
