If she's been on it only 4 months, then it hardly makes her 'scum'. There are a lot of people who have lost their jobs recently and been forced to sign on.
If she's been on it for years, then she must be receiving some other benefit, because she wouldn't be allowed to claim Jobseekers Allowance for that amount of time. And if that's the case she may have an underlying medical problem which stops her being able to work, I am on Incapacity Benefit myself because I am unable to work, and would very strongly object to people calling me scum.
Dislike her for being a cow to Freddie in the early weeks, or because she's miserable and sits and smokes and does nothing else, but people calling her vile scum for being on the dole when noone knows the reasons behind it 100% are just out of order imo.

I agree with this^^
I don't like Lisa and I do think she is very conniving, but I hate that people judge her for being on the dole.
I am a mother of 3 and have a disabilty and my daughter is Autistic so it is very hard at the moment to get a job to fit around my kids.
There are plenty of valid reasons for people who claim and we don't know Lisa's circumstances. As far as I am aware she worked in a factory until 4 months ago and was laid off. Understandable and unfortunate in this economic climate at presesnt.
Having said that I don't want her to win as she doesn't deserve to after her bahaviour in the house and I hope she is evicted on Friday.
