Happens on a way bigger scale these days, except it's been legitimized and called Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits and Child Benefit and Housing Benefit instead of dole.

Was on the dole in a previous life. I do not recall being showered with cash like it said in the papers. Apparently they have security guards in job centres now -- no idea what that's all about -- maybe the dimmer villains think they keep thousands of quid to pay out in cash to people signing on.
