    Shouldn't they both be? Just because ones a multi national company not paying much tax doesn't mean its okay for someone to live of the state with no intentions of working. Or falsely claim for disability.

    Where did you get those figures? The last full year I saw had the total welfare budget at around £265 billion pounds (about a third of total Govt spending). The vast majority of that (over £160b) went on those real scroungers - Old Age Pensions and personal care. Another £44b on disabled and sickness; £45b on income support, child benefit and tax credits; and a whopping £2b on unemployment benefits.

    Bloody scrounging elderly. Should get them back to work or put them in the workhouse. Alternatively we might just question some of the sh!te we're fed by the media, the Tories and the Labour Party.

    Latest figures show 38.9 % of benefits go to in work claimants - latest ONS. Housing Benefit skews the figures though. In general your point is right. When I worked in benefit fraud. Guess who were the biggest fraudsters? Pensioners. **** loads of money in the bank claiming benefits when you asked it was always ‘that’s not my money it’s my kids money’.

    I'd say the biggest benefit fraud is the single parents claiming housing benefit when there partner lives with them working full Time plenty of those about.

    Benefits are just a tax payers subsidy to Industry where they don't pay decent wages. When Capitalism fails Socialism picks up the tab.
