@androcat Talked to a lady who worked for the tax authority here in Norway once. She told me straight away that welfare fraud is such a minor phenomenon that it has zero effect on the welfare budget. She followed that up by saying, "So we need to decide what kind of society we want - one where we're so afraid that someone might get some help they didn't qualify for, at the risk of depriving many others who need that help? Or one where we help folks through tough times and help them become tax payers again?"
A year or two later, I read a study that showed a significant amount of "welfare fraud" cases are folks who genuinely believed they qualified.
The more accessible benefits are, the better for everyone, ultimately.

I don't at all like what monotheistic organized religions have done to our planet, but I do love the sounds of calls to worship (be they bells, vocal, drums, etc).

If you’re under 50, it’s time to jump ship – get out of Britain while you can

The UK seems incapable of solving its own issues, and things are set to get worse
