if his figures are right, that tax fraud is 50 times bigger than benefit fraud, then why only chase after the benefit fraudsters

But let’s also get some facts straight. Tax evasion amounts to £70 billion and year and tax avoidance to £25 billion a year. Yes, I know they’re my estimates, but the European Union uses them even if HM Revenue & Customs insists the combined number is a ludicrously low £32 billion a year. In my opinion tax fraud is at least 50 times bigger than benefit fraud.
