Benefits mess.

Mole-in-the-know has discovered that a great many people who are classed as working by the present government are actually working a mere 18 hours a week and having a substantial amount made up to 'a living wage' on Family Tax Credit et al.
Now that is one thing - and clearly open to abuse.
Apparently, there is absolutely no incentive whatsoever to do any more work than a half week and what is more, those who can find a 'seasonal' job are only working this amount for a proportion of the year!
Mole-in-the-know has spoken directly to a driver who is 'working the system' in this manner.

Perception?
