Cashing in on system.

Byline: Joan Burnie

OK, agreed, Nicola Gallagher, who used her dead child to falsely claim pounds 17,000 in benefits, could walk under a worm with a lum hat on.

But when people see the likes of our politicians claiming 100 times as much for everything from their second homes, to bath plugs and porno films, you can just about understand why there are some who think they too are entitled to work the systeS m.

The difference is that what Gallagher did is illegal and, as Jacqui Smith and the others constantly bleat, they're doing nothing which is against the law.

But isn't it time, it was?
