    I don't have ANY problem with whatever punishments the Government impose on benefit cheats. It's become endemic, & folks justify it buy saying well others do it, so I will too.

    Or "those foreigners come here & claim benefits, so I will too".


    What happened to honesty, & pride? Meh.

    Honesty & pride? For a large percentage of the population that went out of the window some years ago. We have generations now who have never worked and will never work and we, the honest taxpayer, have to support them.

    One thing that is becoming more common now is that when people get caught and taken to court they play the autism/ADHD/stress card as an excuse or mitigation, it's pathetic.

    We have one of the most generous benefits systems in the world and although it 'helps' the individual (it doesn't actually it makes them dependent on it), it certainly doesn't help us as a nation. Darwin's survival of the fittest and evolution are being reversed pretty swiftly and it won't end well.

    Ah well that's the end of my rant, now off to see some clients, I'm working on a Saturday as someone needs to keep the country going.

    Have a good weekend @Tikay10, I'm certainly looking forward to watching the rugby later.

    I am surprised that any of our governments have not yet targeted pro gamblers/poker players.
    I am not advocating this, because that would be a really stupid thing to do on a poker site.
    When I was a youngster you either had a bet in the bookies, or at the course.
    If you had a win, you left with a wad of untraceable cash.
    I am sure the vast majority now bet/play poker online.
    An online account is an undisputable record.
    I believe poker winnings are taxable in the USA, as are casino/lottery wins.
    They surely must have thouight about it.
