This is the tv, Den, and seeing is believing. It's happening. And it's far too easy.
TV or the written media a easy way to educate the mind or a easy way to fill the mind with uneducated demonising prejudices formed on just a few examples of a very small minority cheating the system as that does not make us a nation of cheating fiddlers but you know that any way OB.

The vast majority of professions do their job properly as do the vast majority of Joe Public so again yet more hogwash from you OB as again you are forming a opinion from those old prejudiced sources of yours which is really educating that mind of yours.

Fraud is a big problem in this area, but unfortunately, this has resulted in genuine claimants having to jump through hoops to receive their entitlements.
Another staggering statement as you seem to be excelling at that today OB.

Facts seem to be the enemy of OB today as he will only use facts when it suits his own prejudices.

Any fraud must be cracked down hard IMO.
