Poeple were claiming IB long before Labour came to power in 1997.

Really good if people wwho are not entitled to benefits come off them, I have not the slightest problem with Govts rooting out people who are claiming that shouldn't be.
They are however and will remain, a minority of people who do so, the vast majority will be entitled to them and will be claiming correctly, maybe even not claiming enough as to some.
Just as you have Companies and the richer UK citizens avoiding paying all their due taxes.

I try to look at both sides not setting out as to demonising one over the other.

I have though enjoyed our debating today arista, although we are on opposing sides at present as to these issues, I still respect your view and dedication obviously.
