It'll be the simplest system in history. One line: Output "They're lying".

Still take 600 people to plan and document before being rewritten by IBM into a collosal turd that's the biggest system in history.

I've got nothing against IBM, except experience.

It's no use on Brown and Blair as it doesn't shoot bullets!

From that BBC report:

"According to government figures, benefit fraud cost the UK economy about £0.7bn in 2005/06."


A mere drop in the ocean when you consider the amounts wasted on govt IT projects.

Agreed, it'll probably cost more to outfit the offices, train the staff, pay the consultants to measure the results etc. etc. etc. than they'll possibly ever recover.

That's because the system is so lax that most benefit claimants don't need to commit fraud, they've no intention of working, legitimately or not.
