Rather than (once again) 'cracking down' on benefits cheats (who as research has shown again & again are actually a pretty small group), perhaps the Govt. might find it more cost effective to encourage the HMRC to find ways to get Roman Abramovic to pay the £1bn in taxes he owes....
Oh wait minute, he's rich & therefore someone to be treated carefully (and asked politely) while people on benefits, well they're just scammers, aren't they.... /s
@ChrisMayLA6 And there are plenty of other money laundering, offshoring, tax dodging squillionaires in and around London to go after. Always assuming a lesser amount of their money hasn’t found its way into the pockets of New New Labour and its Cabinet.
Oh, it has? Well la-di-da!
