    Yep - the one I was way out on was the benefit fraud figure.

      70% kept answering too low, who would have thought 5%

          50%

          I agree, choosing between 11% and 13% is a bit harsh

          I was way off with the over 65s question ... only 16% surprised me

            thats because it was a trick question. 15% are EXACTLY 65

                  Very stupid quiz (it's general knowledge, what it got to do with truth?), but I got 80%.

                  Made mistake with estimated fraud - £0.70 apparently, thought Govt was more realistic but they probably thought it would make them look bad if they put it at £6...

                  1.1% foreign aid WTF!!!

                    the fraud is calculated over all benefits, as many benefits you are entitled due to clearly defined facts fraud on pension or child benefit are likely to be very rare. Also they are failing to include in their 'estimate' the two fold increase in DLA over a decade etc.

                    I estimate 99% of Parliamentarians are on the fiddle.

                      That seems a bit on the low side
                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
