By all means lock people up for it, just make sure you're handing out similar sentences when it comes to those in business, politicians etc

I was going to say the same thing about MP's expenses as they are fraudulent as well. The other problem is how they calculate it. If you are caught they treat all your other benefits as being fraudulent just because one thing might be wrong. So easy to get every dodgy benefit claimant inside for a decade. Problem is that it costs a lot more to keep someone in gaol for a decade than pay them benefits for a decade. This is just for the public, I doubt that they will put more than the very few extreme cases inside.

You never read the stories do you?
