Whenever there is a phone-in show or a tacky televised debate about benefits culture, someone always demands to know where all this money is going to. To a large extent, here is the answer. Britain's benefits bill is not going to pay for flat screen TVs, satellite dishes and white cider, but a fair hunk of it is for country estates, mansions in suburbia and yachts in the marina. Britain is indeed being taken for a ride by our benefits culture. It is not the poor behind the wheel, but the rich. www.theguardian.com
