The system is there to be abused. I don't have a problem with people who do abuse it. Get what you can, I say.

Scamming seems to be all about how much the individual is prepared to do to defraud the system. It's not easy to scam but it's also not hard. I know of people who permanently walk around with walking sticks in case some one checks up on them, so they can vouch that they're injured. As stick states there far more money defrauded in other area.

Because I was unemployed for a long time I have a kind of affinity to the long term jobless. Those who are genuinely looking, anyway. I think people should concentrate on the much more lucrative white collar crime that is being committed. There are many longterm jobless people who need to retrain , as I did. I think leave them alone and not bracket them with the chav scum you see hanging out at the job centres day after day
