Under the ridiculous points system, benefits are withdrawn from rightful recipients, only to have them reinstated by the independent Tribunal some months later. By that time the regulations regarding benefits have removed the possibility of claiming benefits for 6 months.
I appreciate that there are any number of fraudulent recipients of benefits as there are in any walk of life and the book should be thrown at them but there are many on work based benefits and Disabled benefits who are increasingly being demonised as scroungers by large parts of the media and a considerable amount of the public when they are nothing of the sort.

Personally I'd prefer to see the companies avoiding tax and the powerful people that do the same and the corruption at local government highlighted alongside the dole fiddlers on prime time TV.
