So Mr. Cameron states that the benefits system is going to be simplified with one global benefit. Claimants, Mr. Cameron says, cannot be trusted to restrict their claims to what they are rightfully allowed.

Maybe the system will be fairer, more simple to administer,..., maybe not. But please Mr. Cameron, don't make it seem as though it is only (some) claimants which cannot be trusted to abide by the rules. I believe your MP expenses claim of £680 for pruning of Wisteria in your constituency home was, on review, rejected and you had to pay back this money. Perhaps the previous actions of yourself and a number of members of both Houses can only lead 'us', unemployed claiments as well, to the conclusion that members of both Houses cannot be trusted to claim only to which they are properly entitled.

Stop singling out the poorest and those who cannot shout loudest. Yes, some of these people will not play fair, but this is found at all levels of society as has been demonstrated recently.
