I don't doubt that it's a small percentage that commit benefit fraud, but the fact is that there are some that do. They ruin it for those that genuinely do need benefits, and also it gives impression to foreigners that they can just come to Britain and claim benefits easily and do nothing else, which some do because there was an article the other day about (not sure it was romanians anymore) Eastern Europeans who say " we want to live in Britain to claim benefits".
It's a shame those ones are ruining it for the people it is intended for. I do believe some tax payers act to high and mighty and I think to myself bitch if you lost your job tomorrow where you gonna be the next day, JSA queue innit?
So i'm not a hardcore benefit hater, just damn, don't abuse it.
