Are benefits cheats equivalent to muggers?
Surely even the lefties must agree with Osborne here?

There are areas of the UK where there is no work. A single person on benefits receives around £60 per week, a couple double that. To exist on such a low level of income is like being in an open prison.
Benefit cheats are showing initiative. Good luck to them.

I don't think anyone is saying that for some being unable to get a job and living on basic benefits is a bed of roses, it must be extremely hard, and I can empathize with them.
But having said that, I think you really know in your own mind the one's being criticised.
These are those who make living off benefits a life style in it's own. These families are perhaps in the 3rd generation who have never worked in their lives. They know every nook and cranny into the benefit's system, how to make it work for them so as to provide them with a very good living, thank you very much,Ta.

No, they're not equivalent to muggers - and they're not equivalent to tax evaders doing cash in hand work to avoid VAT either.
After all, the people doing work cash in hand at least provide a service - at least you get your hedge trimmed or your brickwork repointed.
But yes - they're probably more akin to benefit fiddling MPs. That's what he should have said - 'We need to crack down on these fraudsters - they're no better than MPs'.

Call then what you like, they must be stopped. Cheats are the ones taking something they shouldn't. I dont thinnk many MP's were doing thet, like many of the benefit scoungers (not cheats or genuine cases) the MP's were abusing the system. This of course should alos be stopped. I thought that MP;s had been stopped so now its time for the scroungers.

I wonder why the money people who have a position of trust never go to jail when they cheat.
