    I'm surprised that the cameras haven't visited the Medway Towns...

    They could go down Balmoral Road, the one by the station, and that would satisfy the programme makers.. Or just walk down the high street... Ye gods I would like to think that even Medway has a bit more going for it than this lot..

    I'm originally from that part of the world so I can understand them perfectly. I had the good sense to escape when I was 18.

    Good for you Lost, just think you could have ended up like this lot..

    I'm not blooming surprised.. Maybe that's why the guy has memory loss..
    My support worker was meant to visit while I was on the tablets, and I woke up 2 days later and phoned him up to complain he hadn't visited and he said he had done but I was out of it and they had to call the ambulance. I didn't know it had happened.

    The whole programme should be subtitled, I don't understand how a word.

    "Ode To The Medway Towns" song

    Check it out in the break. This went round on Facebook a couple of years ago ... I don't know who made it.

    I don't agree with the press taking photos of children without the parents permission, but I also don't like the intimidation those kids are giving out.

    Have only had a written assessment for DLA.

    I was about to post similar, he had a good point, but he just looked like a horrible aggressive thug, probably thought he was a big man on camera having a go at a young woman standing on her own

    They can drop this format when they like.
    Now the press are sniffing around the original concept is dead.

    For once I'm actually in agreement with the people on the street. Channel 4 have got permission to film yet the press just go on the street and take photo's without asking permission, then they get snarky when they are filmed..

    It does beg the question! If they can't pull their finger out to attend an appointment once in awhile then they haven't got the ability to hold down a job! I can understand why these sanctions were a neccesary evil

    I thought it was disgusting the kid using the 'you're a pedophile' comment.

    That is an insult to children who do suffer from abuse.

    I must have missed that bit. Why did the kid call someone a pedophile?
