Had this unfortunate chap been properly medically checked, he could well have been found to be deserving of state assistance.
On the other hand the despicable 'expert claimants' should, when tumbled, be subject to very severe penalties. None of this suspended sentence nonsense, hard labour would teach them what they should have been doing rather than leeching off the state.

Sad to say the mills of many government agencies grind even slower.

Every time a government come up with a way of saving money they fail, and I am talking about Labour and Tory ideas! If people can rip off the benefits system, then more & more will try it... and it will get worse.
I agree that they should be severely punished, but putting them in prison just costs more money....so we need to find another method of punishment. Until we can ,criminals will continue to increase so we should stop trying to be fair with all & make those who break the rules suffer.
People who work are expected to cover costs of people who can't. I don't think any decent person would object to that, but for those who try to steal the money we pay in tax & NI, I think a few days in the stocks may cure them of their thieving ways
It would also give us something useful to do with very out of date foods....especially if they are made to clean up when they are out of the stocks!
Sometimes the old ways are the best!

With hard labour, imprisonment could pay for itself especially if the labour is hard enough.
Yes, I think stocks are a good idea too. It's funny how, when you watch those TV police programmes, so many criminals absolutely hate being filmed!
