Yh I don't watch Benefits Street

[Ammi]

..atm I wouldn't really mind if she won but it's early days though..I don't know what her fee for this is and regardless of whether she wins or not, she'll get some publicity stuff and earn more...she was on benefits and was 'hated' for it..?..this will effect that so she won't be able to claim so she's done something to change that...I like her...

she was not sacked because of her boyfriend. she was sacked because she stole thousands from her employer. if she gave the money to her boyfriend more fool her, but she knew what she was doing, and also knew the consequences. thief and convicted criminal. scrounger and lazy.

Nobody knows who stole the money as it was never proven

on benefits because she was to lazy. but to be fair, being a convicted criminal who stole thousands from her employer, would not endear her to many prospective employers. needs to get of her backside, but hey, thousands now from big brother, no need to.

[flamingGalah!]

I think she is their chosen one... Await for more scenarios/tasks to show her in a good light...

Also the average BB viewer is a chavvy dole bum, so they will somehow look up & admire her & thus vote for her...

so true. Helen was a prostitute, not a crime. apart from living on benefits, dee is a convicted criminal. she was convicted of stealing £13,000 from her employers. some of this money belonged to vulnerable people who had placed their money in the care of the local authority. dee was given an 8 month prison sentence. this was suspended for 18 months, and she was ordered to do 220 hours unpaid work (wonder if she ever completed this)

Why compare Dee to the Queen when the monarchy is history. I'm happy to pay my taxes to the Royal Family and not people like Dee

"the monarchy is history"

is that it? because people who bemoan someone getting £200odd a week, and a council house, but not a family getting millions a year for doing nothing other than flying around opening monuments, is really quite bizarre

The Royal Family make back several times what they're paid in profit and pay it back into government.

In what way? If you are talking about tourism there is zero evidence that London would lose visitors without a Monarchy. It hasn't done Paris any harm has it? I'd stick Harry Hewitt on the throne at least he has earned his keep a bit and served his country and has a bit of personality. (failing that he'd make a fantastic Housemate)

No they're the same

Why begrudge a woman a few hundred bob a week over a family getting millions a year for doing the exact same thing?

The only argument I guess is that the Queen brings in more money from tourism but Dee and the royal family are both tax scroungers tbh.

Many of those complaining are probably not even tax payers, just snobbery based on popular opinion.

I don't like people not prepared to work for a living, but don't that much about her. All I know is that on the show she has come across as very likeable. She is friendly, caring and clearly intelligent. She is quick witted and able to adllib when put on the spot. There is more to a person's worth than their background.

A poor, caring, intelligent person is of more value in my book to an unintelligent, less caring better-off one who spends their time watching the likes of Towie and Geordie Shore.

bit silly to presume that people complaining are probably not tax payers. the fact that dee is a convicted criminal is nothing to do with people being snobbish. she was found guilty by Birmingham crown court of stealing £13,000 from her employers, Birmingham city council. some of this money belonged to vulnerable people who had placed it in the care of the local authority. she was given an 8 month prison sentence, this was suspended for 18 months and she was ordered to do 220 hours of unpaid work. (wonder if she ever did it). your right, there is more to a persons worth than their background, in dee's case her background increased her worth by £13,000 of other peoples money, obtained by stealing. your last paragraph makes no sense whatsoever. what would you feel if those people that you are critical of, thought that people who watched big brother were how you have described towie and Geordie shore watchers. rich or poor, caring or less caring, clever or not, is not determined by what tv programme a person chooses to watch, just saying.
