I have watched parts of the last couple of episodes of this Benefits Street, it's just the same as the Scottish one they made 'The Scheme' it's a completely unfair representation of people that receive benefits.

They have chosen certain people to take part that are what I would class as worst case scenario, people watch this kind of thing then lump anyone receiving any benefits into the one category, I know there is a lot of people that are like the ones from this programme but then there's also a lot of people that are nothing like them and are actually trying hard to find a job and better themselves and then some that have been made redundant through no fault of their own and rely on benefits to get them by until they find other work.
