Shocking statistic IMO

There are 4,045 people employed to tackle benefit fraud but only 552 people employed to tackle billions and billions of pounds of tax evasion!


Shows where priorities lie IMO

Yes Julie darlin', this was done under Cameron, he moved lots of HMRC staff from tax fraud investigation to DWP fraud investigation back in 2011.

I'm guessing that some of those who fraudulently claim benefits are also capable of not declaring tax but not the other way round.

Money accrued from evaded taxes goes to form donations to the Tory party. Of course they are not going bite hand that feeds them.
