Title: On Benefits And Proud. Channel 5
Post by: Fly on October 14, 2013, 09:34:20 PM

I think the programme is a pull down for all the people who are really struggling to live.
Plus rubbing it in the face of people on low wages.

If they gave me a job that paid £500 a week I'd do it. Even if it meant cleaning up sh**

Priceless !!!

Didn't see programme nut saw comments on facebook.

Government / Daily Mail / Torygraph loves this sort of programme that portrays those on benefits as scroungers and turns those working against them.

Deflects the fact that even people working on low wages / irregular hours are now turning to foodbanks to feed their families
