Is anyone watching?
I'm not one of those that loves to have a good rant about how my taxes pay for people's lifestyle but the people on the show take the piss. 11 kids? Having a go at your child getting a job because you get more on benefits? I don't mind genuine cases like if someone has mental health, or whatever, or those that genuinely look but can't find but those other ones.

I've just watched it too....the woman with 11 kids was better than the girls in London who spent all their time shopping and getting their nails done

Sensationalism, they just find the extremes, which is about 0.0000001% of the population and they make it out to be some sort of epidemic
They are getting paid to say most of the stuff they say. Half of it probably isn't even real |

Yeah but why have 11 kids?
And the big woman did talk about the fact that if she found a real job she would not be able to have Ł500 left after bills... so why bother make proper effort to find a job.

I didn't watch it, so can't comment. As Nathan said, they focus on a very, very small majority of people in a show that is broadcast to millions of people, who then in turn tar everyone on benefits with the same brush.

It perpetuates a myth, MP Rachel Reeves suggested to me that if you see programmes like this as political bias to report them... So I did.

Where are the programs focusing on the bankers or the energy companies who are willfully going to let pensioners freeze over this winter for the sake of their profit margin? These people are government approved! Open your eyes Its pure propaganda |

There are millions of people on benefits. So the 0.0001% or whatever seems about right

All she would lose would be her income support/JSA. And that would be supplemented by her wages. She would be better off by working. As is everyone..besides disabled people who rightly get more benefits than others..

I imagine if you have 500 pw after paying rent, the thought of an extra 150 or so isnt as appealing as it is to other people :/
