I'm not looking forward to this show. I just hope is shows that people on benefits need the money they get.

This will divide opinion! I say just bring back the workhouse :eek:

koantemplation · 12/07/13 - 02:04

I'm already annoyed at the sound bite 'They get the money for nothing.'

Most people have paid their taxes when working so are now just getting it back.

Roland Mouse · 12/07/13 - 02:04

Let's tell the people on benefits where they are going wrong as a continuation to telling them that they don't know how to cook.

Is it international bash the benefits people day or something?

Started another thread, hopefully mods will delete it.

J-Zee · 12/07/13 - 02:04

This will be the polar opposite of the previous programme about budget menus, ha should be interesting

I think the problem lies when people on benefits have pets, Sky, mobile phones etc. then you can see why some people might get irritated at that

Ooops do I dare admit I am on ESA and have pets, cable, mobile phone contract, holiday in england once a year, and broadband. But in my defense my husband works and earns a decent wage ...so he pays for all the luxuries because he says why should he go without when he can afford it.

Eeeks that didn't come out how I wanted..but you get the drift!!

spookyLX · 12/07/13 - 02:06

ooooh I think I may get angry watching this

Roland Mouse · 12/07/13 - 02:06

I wonder if they will mention that people on benefits now have to find money to pay some part of their Council Tax that they used to get for free and yet the amount of benefits never went up by the same amount.

Result: People get less benefits now than they did. So they have gone down!

phill363 · 12/07/13 - 02:07

Anyone who finds the benefit system easy must be made of sterner stuff.
