No one is suggesting that fraud in any form is acceptable or that it should be ignored but the sheer scale of the beaurocracy involved here means money will disappear regardless of attention paid.

Laissez-faire is not something I go along with. It is no good having laws if they are not enforced. £70m may be way south of the true figure; we just won't know for sure until the law is rigorously applied. I can't see how improving the efficiency of the already existing admin systems would be a bureaucratic nightmare.
Law-breaking can be contagious. The usually law-abiding can be tempted when they see others getting away with it. Or they get angry.

But then I've been accused of not being a genuine case before so maybe I'm not a good judge.

No-one is judging here. As a genuine claimant, do you feel more could/should be done about those who milk the system?

no system is ever perfect and expecting it to be or even striving to hard for it to be is futility and as pointed it can cause far more harm than any good it could do

There are angry people in car parks who don't share your point of view.
