'Public' interest? We are interested in whatever they make programmes and tell us we're interested in.
If for instance C5 made one of these 'documentaries' about flaws in the banking system that cost the taxpayer billions...or the falsifying of information in governmental literature... or the failure of a govt to regulate a water company to ensure potentially fatal bacteria isn't found in drinking water, we may be 'interested in those issues perhaps?
I'm not the only one to feel that there is a distinct pernicious drive to pit those hovering anywhere above the bottom against those who for whatever reason find themselves in poverty.
No matter how many times it's said that the percentage of claimants that are found to be fraudulent is inflated many times in the minds of the public due to the amount of programming dedicated to it... so it begs the question what's the real story, what's the real issue and the reason for the subterfuge?
Society is faced with a mirror but presented with a distorted image, if we held that same mirror to our govt/ media/ police what would we see... good, honest, decent people with no flaws or questions to answer?
