I disagree ,i don't think it is a semantic one at all i think it is a correct description of estates that are used by LA's to keep all the undesirables of society in one area as much as possible.You have to realise that welfare fraud is only part of the problem .Quite a lot of long term claimants know the system better than the people working in the department and know all the tricks of getting as much out of the system as possible ,not fraud just in depth knowledge .I have ,in the course of my work ,heard people having conversations along the lines of "betty down the road gets x amount from the nash and she says that if i tell the nash y then i will get it as well", word gets around and before long everyone in that circle of friends is getting X just like betty creating a ghetto of people unwilling to give their lifestyle .Getting people like these off the system is going to be just as hard as stopping people getting on it in the first place imo
