1. A sorry state of affairs.
Its a fact that the welfare state has been effectively subverted by greedy, lazy people who exploit the fact that the system is easy to defraud. They probably don't amount to more than a few percent of overall claimants but incidents like this provide ammunition to those who would like to see the whole thing dismantled.

Does need to be reformed though.
