Show PostTrue, but the £10 in benefits is very likely spent in the UK whereas the £10 sat in an offshore fund is likely spent/invested on a non-UK company.
Show Post£10 spent on benefits isn't just £10 lost, it's £10 that will then be spent on food, or rent which keeps circulating in the economy. £10 given to big businesses in a tax cut just ends up in a profit margin, or a millionaire shareholders pocket. Its likely never spent again.
