Benefit Cheats v Tax Evaders

Don’t know about you but I think both of these defraud innocent taxpayers.


So what’s the difference? Only that the sum fiddled by the latter comes to the odd billion or two MORE than the former!


Which then begs the question why is there so much publicity on benefit cheats, like this week’s Panarama hour long special, and next to nothing on tax evaders? The cynic in me says the answer is simple – going after the easier target.


It was ever thus.
