A) The SUBJECT of the programs in question is EXCLUSIVELY Benefit CHEATS.

B) You MISREPRESENT that subject as attacking BENEFIT CLAIMANTS.

C) This then gives you a perfect platform to repeatedly post your rants and show us all how clever you are.

The problem is that you also repeatedly denigrate those of us who hold a different viewpoint to you - a viewpoint, I might add.which is legitimate, based on the program's TRUE subject and not your MISREPRESENTED view.

You don't understand how a cheap show made by a cheap channel about "Benefits cheats" is a covert attack on all benefits claimants, and furthers a mindset of distaste towards benefits recipients in general. That's fine. I genuinely don't care that you don't "get it" .

All I will say is that you failing to understand something does not make it a "deliberate misrepresentation", or, in fact, any sort of misrepresentation at all.

You're also being a hypocrite again kirk. Yes, on occasion, I despair when people hold opinions that I think are wrong and believe to be damaging and I don't shy away from saying so. However, I really have to point out that even if I am guilty of this... there is no one else more guilty of belittling people, by questioning their intelligence, their sincerity, or often both, for not sharing an opinion as... Errrr... You, Kirk. Your very self.
