At the end of the day she don't get any money all the time she's in the house coz she can't prove that she's looking for work!!!!

Just means big brother is paying for her instead

Well said loomy. I live in the West Midlands and worked for a company for over 16 years until I was made redundant 5 years ago. I have not worked since and it was not fot the want of trying. But as a disabled person (which I am) and aged 54 it is almost impossible to get a job regardless of experience and qualifications. I wouldn't like to think that I am sponging. So why shouldn't Lisa be in the house?

Not from West Midlands but

Come on get yer tax return and medical records oot so we can judge just as you've obviously judged Lisa from expert viewpoint - go for it twonk

i have worked more than lisa! thats for sure!!

and its just my opinion!!

i dont mind people being on the dole because it is hard to find a job! but only if they get off their backside and keep looking for jobs! and dont spend their days boozing and smoking!

[cookiemonster]

JSA is only £46 a week or something, hardly enough to go boozing and smoking. plus you can't be on it for 21 years, they wouldn't let you. they'd make you find a job. she must be on other benefits.

[Hedgie]

No more or less so than rich tax evaders. I'd rather have a go at loaded polititians spending MY cash on a moat, than the thousands of "scroungers" that live in poverty and can't see a way out because the big money polititians can't run a country for anything other than self gain. You tell me we aren't stiill under the rule of the landed gentry!

You make me puke quite frankly - idiot of highest order - give me your tax return and medical records so I can see if I paid for your life this year

[thepeaguy]

Just to add that you can be on benefits and work, you know.

[InOne]

It does not matter if you are on the dole or not. How do you know what Lisa does with her time? She may other problems, like other people said, you just be on JSA for 20 years, she must be on something else.

[cookiemonster]

what about if you volunteer whilst you're on benefits? that's what i did. i worked full days for free. at a family centre that needed volunteers like me. you shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush, and you can't comment unless you've been on benefits and know what it's like. no one lives the good life on benefits.

for my life? what the hell??

what the hell have i said wrong?? at the end of the day yes.. politicans have sent this country in turmoil!! but still.. if you havnt got a job you have to keep finding one!!

why am i an idiot??

[NadiasWilly]

It's irrelevant whether she is on the dole. BB is about all walks of life.

And hopefully being on BB will get her off the dole. So that should make you happy.

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

She's been unemployed for 4 months and it's hard to find work these days, cut her some slack. Siavash isn't unemployed btw, He's an events organiser. Karly and Hira are also unemployed

Or you could get a paid job for 16 hours max while you're on certain benefits.

But yeah, all this dole bashing is ****ing old, imo.

[londoner2009]

if she wins the money should go back to the system

people are jealous they have to work is what it comes down to. except they don't know they have it a lot better than people on benefits.

[SoFarSoGood282]

Since we're in a recession, I don't see a problem letting people who are on the dole into the house! My boyfriend was made reduntant in Feb and hasn't been able to find work since......why shouldn't people like him be allowed into the house???

[Shasown]

She will either have been claiming Jobseekers or Income Support, either way she would probably have been entitled to Housing and council tax benefits.


She could also have claimed Disability Allowance depending on her circumstances instead of JSA/IS

[londoner2009]

anyone who can't find a job in 20 odd years is a waste of space

playing the system

[Beastie]

when i was 17 i was on the job allowance for a few months!! but every single day i was trying to find work!!
sorry i have been complaining about lisa and now you will think i sound like im a hypocrite but no!! like i said...... if you look for work EVERYDAY and you are on the dole then its acceptable!!!!!

i can see why bea is pissed off.. when lisa is restricting herself.. going places because she cant drive!! i had to take the bus!! and all that before i could drive!!

Because you are the expert that knows Lisa doesn't bother finding a job - you know all about her benefits and have judged her - you really make me throw up twonk - get yer tax return & medical record oot........come on

[Beastie]

and i heard.. that lisa received 15 grand.. im not sure from where but someone posted that on here the other week!!

i wonder where that money went??

well im not the only one judging!! WHY ARE YOU PIN POINTING ME!!

when i have had a job i have paid tax!! and medically and i have not had anything severly wrong with me lol

[thepeaguy]

I have to say I'm somewhat enjoying the taxfree lifestyle I have so far.

[Beastie]

the people are going to destroy each other before the world destroys us!

[NadiasWilly]

Well she got off her ass to apply for the show and go through the relentless audition process. So she clearly has some drive and ambition.

She is making an effort to change her life. Isn't that what you want?

Silly me, you just want to bash her.
