Starting now 8.30 Bbc 1 Panorama
The great benefits scam.
Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    How many more of that type of programme are we going to have before someone in Government starts to see that the system we have isn't working.

    But the system is working! It's doing exactly what the government want it to do, which is to deprive as many claimants as is humanly possible, and divert the money into the hands of private enterprise.
    Anyone claiming any sort of benefit today whether genuine or not are regarded as lazy scum.
