47 minutes late Graham. :cwm3::smile:

[stevewool]

have not seen it yet

[Dedworth]

I had to turn it off before my boot connected with the screen.

[Ako Si Jamie]

It'll be on BBC I player or whatever its called.

[grahamw48]

A fine display of so much that is wrong with this country.

I don't really know where to start...and these were only 'amateur' dolies from Ipswich. :NoNo:

How many cats and dogs were we paying to feed....apart from human idle fat slobs ? :mad:

...and then the cheeky :censored:s are having charity food parcels delivered. :doh

[DaveyWallis]

This programme confirmed everything I thought about people on the dole.

Every excuse not to get a job. No reason to try to find one.

Deliveries from the food bank while having a massive flat screen TV, games consoles etc (allegedly bought while he was working) in the lounge.

Not enough money to pay the rent while living in a detached property.

Stocking up on processed (more expensive) food while having all day to cook proper meals.

Claiming disability yet having the ability to father 4 kids - and what woman would leave their kids with a slob like that to raise them???

Having a mini petting zoo in the house, courtesy of my taxes.

My heart bleeds for these people NOT.

I thought that the tax payers that shadowed them showed remarkable restraint, although the one who had previously been out of work seemed a complete wimp.

The programme was badly edited and it didn't show what all of them were getting from the dole, just a couple of them.

The Poles must be sh1tting themselves.

No thought of SELLING that big TV then...taking the pets to the RSPCA home...accepting a SLIGHT lowering of one's standard of living...wearing a :censored: condom ? :NoNo:

One guy was listing his costs of running a car ! :doh

When they're living like this I'll listen to their whining and excuses:

Exactly Graham :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I wonder how people who shell out to the food banks would feel seeing the standards of living of some of the recipients. I thought it was for the needy but it's going to the greedy.

Poverty my :action-smiley-081:

I bet I could more than halve their outgoings if I had a good look at them.

The fat cow wanted to pay £4.20 for a fresh chicken when the lady shadowing her suggested buying frozen chicken breasts. 3 x 1kg chicken breasts fillets at Farmfoods for a tenner. No brainer!

These people make me sick.

[grahamw48]

Absolutely.

Even I, as a cooking heathen have worked out that it is cheaper for me to buy fat-free frozen chicken breast strips (and already cooked !) than muck about with some horrible dead bird, half of which I will end up throwing in the bin. :doh

Clearly feeding a house full of pets is more important than feeding their kids sensibly.

People are stupid - I just bawled out some woman in town who bought a Big Issue off the "homeless" Roma creature who has been hawking it outside Marks & 'Spensive for the last 6 or 7 years

Sorry I missed it, not watched any TV for a few days doing loads of work in the garden at the moment!

[Ako Si Jamie]

Most of them come across as blaggers using their kids as an excuse not to work. As for the guy who was previously at university - he's got it cushy living at a relatives with no rent or bills to pay so he won't be in a hurry for employment especially since he's 38k in debt or whatever it was. Hence all the latest gadgets etc.

And I don't think it was very clever and somewhat hypocritical of the working people to go on TV and preach to the unemployed about receiving handouts when they're in receipt of child benefit, something that working individuals without children have to subsidise.
