Benefit Cheats in Spain

With a national attitude in the UK that considers it OK to cheat the government it is not surprising that benefit cheats are alive and well and living in the Spanish sun.

It is not at all surprising that the expat benefit cheats are thriving in Spain. It starts at the top, and with the bunch of cheats that run Britain committing fraud, its not hard to see how easy it is for expats to cheat too. The ministers call themselves "Honourary" gentlemen, but there is no honour amongst thieves. It wouldn't surprise me if once these ministers are kicked out, they have lined up 3rd homes in Spain, payed for by the british taxpayers.
