So the only reason they caught her was because of her sheer stupidity then.

Believe it or not, they don't have the power to look at your bank account without your consent.

When they do want to see your account, they turn up and ask you there & then for the last couple of statements....and if you're dumb enough to keep £40K in the same account they pay your money in to, then you deserve everything you get (not for being a cheat, just for being too f**king stupid)

What's with this Benefit "Cheats" ?  It's Benefit Thieves.
Benefit is something one gets if entitled to it, and if entitled to it, it is rightfully yours.
Theft is the taking of something that is not rightfully yours.
So the accepting or taking of benefit one is not entitled to is theft.

Absolutely spot on, and just the same applies to all the MP's who have taken our money under the guise of "expenses".

The only difference of course is that they haven't spended £1000's on adverts in weak attempts to vilify themselves for doing EXACTLY the same.
