Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
The Gary Barlow tax avoidance case has put things into perspective. According to Channel 5 this morning:
Each year, tax avoidance costs the UK economy £69.9 billion pounds.
Each year benefit fraud costs the UK economy £5.2 billion pounds.
Try and guess which is covered more in the newspapers, has it's own free hotline to report wrongdoers, has numerous television programmes made about it etc etc...
