Judge, that is exactly what I meant, I was referring, like Pippa, to the person who was complaining about paying tax into a system which supports any children as she doesn't have any.
I agree with you, claiming for children who aren't here is a fraudulant abuse of the system imo.
Of course if we are in the EU, then maybe I should get hold of all the countries' that are in the EU and the benefits they offer and apply for them too. If warsaw are willing to support my children then I'm willing to support theirs; if however they say no (which is, frankly, likely!) then we should say no to theirs. And obviously, I'm using warsaw as an example as did the judge.
