Anyone else watching it? Sometime you just want to throw stuff at your tv. Great quote from a scrounger "how can we live on £50 a week, we need more to feed the kids!"

Try not having loads of kids then. Everyone of them are walking around with a cig out their mouth and a can of special brew!

are they going to make a documentary about sneering, piss taking millionaires who cause such situations to exist in the first place? Root cause analysis and all that... no wait, don't look over there... just look at the results instead

Demonising folks who don't know any better... very possibly because the situation is the only thing they know... why isn't there an alternative?

Easy targets again!!!

benefit fraud doesn't even come close to multi millionaire/billionaire fraud... but that is beyond most people's' comprehension

But it's easy to understand programmes like this

It's just the Sun, but on the telly instead

And the best tip for all prospective shoplifters, cover a primark bag in foil and put it inside a posh bag, the scanner won`t detect stolen items banghead

I get what you say Parmo but shit breeds with shit = shit!!

Billionaires appoint expensive lawyers and sue plus a lot of MPs are quite wealthy and like tax loopholes. If only there was a political party that represented the masses in the middle.

It was clearly a TV version of the Daily Mail, designed to make us angry at the attitudes of people who have been failed by the systems in place to protect them and by their families. Programmes like that will always pick extreme examples and while certain things about it wind me up I think there needs to be a bit more 'There for the grace of God go I' type attitude because a run of bad luck could see any of us wind up on the path to becoming a version of that bloke stuck in a cycle of depending on alcohol and having no hope.

Just a joke .. TV to promote reaction ..They should spend their money demonising the real criminals in the suits but as splod says they have better lawyers.

The words presented may not be the ones inputted ..Thanks Tapatalk

clappp Spot on Mr P clappp

...it's called divide and rule. Get the working people to demonise and turn on each other while turning a blind eye to the fatcat swindlers squirreling away their millions offshore.

THERE lies the true scandal in this country today. :roll:
