Petition Investigate why those claiming benefits can afford SKY TV or the like.

More details

As a taxpayer I cannot afford to have a luxury such as SKY TV, but have noticed that there are those who claim benefits that can afford it. How hard would it be for the government to check the names and addresses of those claiming benefits with that of those who are registered for SKY TV or the like. If you are found to be claiming benefits and SKY TV, then the amount should be deduct from what you claim. The money could be used for those who really need it.
