People who are claiming benefits?
We all know that a fair amount of benefit claimants are having to claim to survive and that we can all understand. But the vile way Dee has come across especially the last week is starting to show the other side of these claimants.. A lot who have NO intention of getting off benefits and lets be honest if they hadnt done the programme does anyone really think that Dee would have got off her arse and gone out looking for work? I feel sorry for the people who really want to get back into work and cant to be labelled with a person so vile as Dee.... ![]() |

Well she's certainly not helping the benefits communities image.

Well I don't see what Dee's personality has to do with benefits claimants.
People are so quick to categorise and generalise. |

What disgusts me is that she has made more money from being famous for claiming benefits than from people like my son who works all hours to earn a decent living...and still struggles.
It's just ALL WRONG!.. |

Personality... ![]() My son has a great personality, caring, thoughtful....but he has morals to match. That's where I generalise...and there are many others out there like him. That's why Dee will NEVER get my support. |

I don't think Dee is stereotyping? I think it's the viewers (or at least some of them) that are doing that..

I never said you should support Dee. I thought the quote function was when you wanted to reply with something relevant?

The point is that the vast majority of benefit claimants are genuine. They come from all walks of life and are perfectly entitled to whatever they receive.
A small proportion abuse the system, and she is one of those. Nothing to be proud of because they are taking money away from those that genuinely need it. I find it difficult to understand why she is being rewarded for that behaviour by anointing her with pseudo celebrity status. I've seen nothing in this show that suggests to me she has any redeeming hidden qualities or reasons for cheating the way she did. |

You get people like Dee who do work.
You get good people who don't work. Dee did work before she helped herself to other peoples money, so perhaps it's not that straight forward and simple to call people who don't work scrounges. |

It was about her personality/whether she's a nice person or not has no bearing on her reasons for being on benefits or anyone else's. |

I know many people at my workplace that are single parents..they work. They don't sit at home relying on handouts. It's all too easy for some... It's great that this country supports single parents etc...some just try hard to support themselves rather than take take take. My son will pass those ethics on to his children...that's what being a good father/mother is. Laziness breeds laziness... If you watched BS two parents discouraged their daughter from taking a job because it paid more to get welfare. I had such respect for a 16 year old girl who went against their wishes to work and earn her own money for her own self esteem and pride. It's nobody's fault but the government for installing this mentality...but my admiration goes out to my son and others who have the pride to earn a living and demonstrate good ethics to others and children. |
